Panela Velha

Part 1:
I'm dating a single lady
The beauty who wants to be my boss
My relatives are already criticizing me
They're saying she's too old
She's mature, over thirty years old
But for me, what matters is the person

Chorus:
It doesn't matter if she's old
An old pot is what makes good food

Part 2:
A young girl is nice but scary
No secrets and talks too much
I only trust a woman over thirty
Being distinguished, she forgives mistakes
For perfection, she can be of any race
African, Italian, or German

Chorus:
It doesn't matter if she's old
An old pot is what makes good food

Part 3:
Our life begins at forty
Born in plans for the person's future
Those who marry early soon separate
Because married life quickly gets boring
A housewife must be a mature woman
Otherwise, problems pile up

Chorus:
It doesn't matter if she's old
An old pot is what makes good food

Part 4:
I'll marry to earn your affection
Living alone sometimes disheartens
And a gaucho without a woman is worth nothing
It's like a fish living out of the pond
I'm resolved, I'll tell my relatives
Those people who talk too much

Chorus:
It doesn't matter if she's old
An old pot is what makes good food
