Dona Maria solta meu pinto

Near my house lives a woman
We argue all the time, I'll tell you how it is
We argue all day long, I'll tell you what the problem is
She made a vegetable garden in the backyard

I have several hens and a pet rooster
He's everything to me, I raised him by hand
My rooster got into the garden and couldn't escape
She caught my rooster and says she won't let go...

Mrs. Maria, the pain I feel
Mrs. Maria, please release my rooster
Mrs. Maria, the pain I feel
Mrs. Maria, please release my rooster

Release Moisés' rooster, Mrs. Maria

I can't take it anymore, I'm getting worried
From home, I can see my rooster closed off
She tied up my rooster, he hangs there
She says she's going to kill my rooster by hanging

My rooster is suffering like a condemned man
I'm dying of pity, he's all plucked
Poor little rooster, he hasn't eaten in a while
He's getting stiff from the cold and hunger

Mrs. Maria, the pain I feel
Mrs. Maria, please release my rooster
Mrs. Maria, the pain I feel
Mrs. Maria, please release my rooster
