Cantiga da Burra (part. Galandum Galundaina)

They gave me a donkeyDeram-me uma burra
That was gentle, that was fierceQue era mansa que era brava

They gave me a donkeyDeram-me uma burra
That was gentle, that was fierceQue era mansa que era brava
All very similarToda bem parecida
But the donkey wouldn't walkMas a burra não andava

The donkey wouldn't walkA burra não andava
Neither forward nor backwardNem pra frente nem pra trás
I scolded it a lotMuito lhe ralhava
But I wasn't ableMas eu não era capaz

I wasn't ableEu não era capaz
To make the donkey walkDe fazer a burra andar
It was past noonPassava do meio dia
And I was desperateE eu a desesperar

And I was desperateE eu a desesperar
Oh, what despair of mineAi que desespero o meu
I mentioned the little donkeyFalei-lhe no burrico
And the donkey even ranE a burra até correu

They gave me a donkeyDeram-me uma burra
That was gentle, that was fierceQue era mansa que era brava
All very similarToda bem parecida
But the donkey wouldn't walkMas a burra não andava

The donkey wouldn't walkA burra não andava
Neither forward nor backwardNem pra frente nem pra trás
I scolded it a lotMuito lhe ralhava
But I wasn't ableMas eu não era capaz

I wasn't ableEu não era capaz
To make the donkey walkDe fazer a burra andar
It was past noonPassava do meio dia
And I was desperateE eu a desesperar

And I was desperateE eu a desesperar
Oh, what despair of mineAi que desespero o meu
I mentioned the little donkeyFalei-lhe no burrico
And the donkey even ranE a burra até correu
