Meio Dia
Mastruz Com Leite
Noon
I drain the midday sweat
Whistling the melody
I try to satisfy
With the sip of the gourd
The thirst passes but does not go away
Fasting, fasting there is
The Sun warms my head
Oh Maria, don't forget
Also to warm up
With your kisses my life
And the leftover food
What's left from dinner?
John, we're out of flour
The kerosene in the kitchen
The gurgui beans have already given
Dad, bring a calico dress
That I want to look pretty
Pretty as hell
Be patient, my people
It was the drought and the flood
I'm not the one to blame
