O Bacalhau Quer Alho

Oh, what a nice smell
When I entered the kitchen
Eating it is a pleasure
And shivers down the spine

Then with a little drink
It cheers up a guy
Who wants garlic, a little salad
Eats a cod à la brás

The cod wants garlic
It's the best seasoning
Whoever eats garlic
Gets strong as an oak

On top of your table
Right in the middle of the kitchen
Look at the beautiful candle
Trembling with fear

With your fairy hands
You served me dinner
A shredded cod
That came just in time!

The cod I like the most
Has a little ham in the middle
Served in its slices
All mixed up

The garlic gives it flavor
It's tastier in the spine
The more I eat, the better
I'm not leaving the kitchen
