Translation of the song Feiticeira artist Maria Bethânia

Feiticeira como a rosa tão formosa

A sorceress pretty as a rose

Era minha bonequinha engraçadinha

She was my funny little doll

Ela tem doces encantos, eu garanto

She has her sweet enchantment, I can assure you

É, de todas, a rainha

She is the queen of them all

Certo dia deu-se um caso por acaso

One day something happened by chance

Mas não foi por gosto meu que aconteceu

But it wasn’t because of me that it happened

Eu ninando a bonequinha engraçadinha

I was lulling her to sleep

Quem adormeceu fui eu

But it was me who slept

Despertando desse sono procurando

And I woke from this dream searching for her

Para tê-la nos meus braços em abraços

So I could have her in my arms embracing me

Oh, que dor no coração ao vê-la ao chão

Oh, how painful it was to see her on the floor

Separada em mil pedaços

Shred into a thousand pieces
