Alfredo Marceneiro - O Leilão da casa da Mariquinhas
Ninguém sabe dizer nada
Da formosa Mariquinhas
A casa foi leiloada
Venderam-lhe as tabuínhas Ainda fresca, e com gajé / Encontrei na Mouraria
A antiga Rosa Maria / E o Chico do cachiné
Fui-lhes falar, já se vê / E perguntei-lhes de entrada
P'la Mariquinhas, coitada / Respondeu-me o Chico, e vê-la?
Tenho querido saber dela
Ninguém sabe dizer nada As outras suas amigas / A Clotilde a Júlia a Alda
A Inês, a Berta, a Mafalda / E as outras mais raparigas
Aprendiam-lhe as cantigas / As mais ternas coitadinhas
Formosas como andorinhas / Olhos e peitos em brasaAlfredo Marceneiro - O Leilão da casa da Mariquinhas - http://motolyrics.com/alfredo-marceneiro/o-leilao-da-casa-da-mariquinhas-lyrics-english-translation.html
Que pena tenho da casa
Da formosa Mariquinhas Então o Chico apertado / Com perguntas, explicou-se
A vizinhança zangou-se / Fez-lhe um abaixo assinado
Diziam que havia fado / Ali até madrugada
A pobre foi intimada / A saír, foi posta fora
E por mor duma penhora
A casa foi leiloada O Chico foi ao leilão / Arrematou a guitarra
O espelho, a colcha com barra / O cofre forte o fogão
Como não houve cambão / Porque eram coisas mesquinhas
Trouxe um parte de chinelinhas / O alvará e as bambinelas
E até das próprias janelas
Venderam-lhe as tabuínhas
Alfredo Marceneiro - Auction of the House of Mariquinhas (English translation)
Noone can say anything
About the beautiful Mariqhinhas
The house was auctioned
The shutters were sold
Still fresh and full of life / I met in Mouraria
The elderly Rosa Maria / And Chico with the muffler
I was talking to them, you see / And I asked them initially
About the Mariquinhas, poor thing / Chico answered me, and see here?
I wanted to know about her
Whether anyone knew anything.
Her other friends / Clotilde, Júlia, Alda
Inês, Berta, Mafalda / And the other girls also
Were taught the songs / The sweeter poor things
Comely like swallows / Eyes and breasts on fireAlfredo Marceneiro - O Leilão da casa da Mariquinhas - http://motolyrics.com/alfredo-marceneiro/o-leilao-da-casa-da-mariquinhas-lyrics-english-translation.html
That I pity the house
Of the beautiful Mariquinhas
Then Chico pressed on / WIth questions, it was explained
The neighborhood became angry / A petition was made
They said that it was fate / There until the early hours
The poor thing was ordered / To get out, was evicted
And because of debts
The house was auctioned
Chico was at the auction / He scooped up the guitar
The mirror, the spread with bar / The strongbox, the stove
As there were no bids / Because the things were paltry
Gained a bundle of slippers / The licence and the curtains
And even the windows themselves
The shutters were sold
