Translation of the song lyrics O Franguito da Maria - Quim Barreiros

O Franguito da Maria (original)

De todas as capoeiras
Que existem na freguesia
De todas as capoeiras
Que existem na freguesia
Não há frango mais bonito
Que o pito da Maria
Não há frango mais bonito
Que o pito da Maria
Franguinho tão cobiçado
Bem pretinho e bem peludo
Franguinho tão cobiçado
Bem pretinho e bem peludo
Até havia quem dissesse
Que o comiam com penas e tudo
Até havia quem dissesse
Que o comiam com penas e tudo
Um belo dia porém
Alguém gritou aflito
Um belo dia porém
Alguém gritou aflito
Oh Maria, Oh Maria
Raios te parta deixastes comer o pito
Oh Maria, Oh Maria
Ai deixastes comer o pito
Ai Jesus nossa senhora
Gritava a mãe e dizia
Quem foi que comeu o pito
O pito à minha Maria
A velhota perguntava
Mas o frango já estava frito
E a Maria até sabia
Quem foi que lhe comeu o pito
A Maria disse á mãe
Que fora seu namorado
E a velhota perdoo-lhe
Porque era um rapaz estimado

O Franguito da Maria (translation)

Of all the capoeiras
That exist in the parish
Of all the capoeiras
That exist in the parish
There is no prettier chicken
May Maria's pito
There is no prettier chicken
May Maria's pito
Chicken so coveted
Very black and very hairy
Chicken so coveted
Very black and very hairy
There were even those who said
That they ate it with feathers and everything
There were even those who said
That they ate it with feathers and everything
A beautiful day though
Someone screamed in distress
A beautiful day though
Someone screamed in distress
Oh Mary, Oh Mary
Damn you, you let the pito eat
Oh Mary, Oh Mary
Then you let the pito eat
Oh Jesus our lady
She screamed at her mother and said
Who ate the pito
The pito to my Maria
The old lady asked
But the chicken was already fried
And Maria even knew
Who ate the pito
Maria told her mother
Who was your boyfriend?
And the old woman I forgive her
Because he was an esteemed boy
