Translation of the song Saia Travada artist Cesária Évora

Es amor di hoje em dia

This love nowadays

é um amor di porcaria

is a good-for-nothing love

Es m'mininha ta chei d'mania

That girl of mine is full of manias

Es ta na ês sô fantasia

She's only in those fantasies of hers

Si algum dia bô cai-me na mon

If someday you fall in my hands

'M ta fazê-be t'ma catchorre bençon

I'll make you have to take the blessing of a dog

Pamode dinhero ê ca panhode na tchom

Because money isn't picked up from the ground

s'bô ca tem dinhero ês ta fazê-be caron

if you don't have any money they'll just look the other way
