A Volta Que o Mundo Dá

In the state of São Paulo it was in Guaratinguetá
A couple of lovers swore not to separate
But the evil money made the vow break
The father told his daughter their relationship would end
We are from a noble family, your boyfriend is poor
We shouldn't mix

A guy without money won't enter my home
The heavy-hearted country boy sighed to hold back tears
He replied saying I can earn money
My hands are calloused, my flaw is working
If it were as I wanted, our daily bread
I wouldn't let it be lacking

A wealthy man passed by one day
Boasting so many advantages, he made the old man believe
My father has a lot of money, my job is to study
He took the girl by force, dating without marrying
The man of position was nothing but a thief
Who the police came to get

The thief left a daughter, who will raise the grandfather
And the mother remained single, there's no use complaining
The girl constantly asks her mother
Mommy, where's my father, I want to see where he is
At that moment the mother stays silent, she doesn't speak the truth
Because courage doesn't come

Love is a serious matter, I've never seen anyone buy it
Many heartless fathers have daughters to negotiate
They look for those with money to date their daughter
They scorned the country boy they should have respected
The heavy-hearted country boy now has a respected home
It's the turn the world takes
