Cantiga do bandido [English translation]

This is too much! I'm so very fed up, now:

This bile is so very bitter!

Only in a desert island

You'd be faithful to me.

Such a crushed passion!

It made me play with fire

And become a pawn in a move,

Where love isn't part of the game!

I didn't suspect,

Not even once,

That you were a Don Juan type...

Don Juan...

Bon vivant... Bon vivant!

That there was

Someone else as well

With whom you had encounters;

That you were also cheating on her,

For you don't want to love anyone!

[Chorus:]

Latin macho men

Are dinosaurs,

Museum pieces!

And, on top of that,

I'm a Juliet that belongs

To another Romeo!

Ah! I never trusted

Those Latin lover looks;

Your mustache and your kisses

In the style of Rudolph Valentino.

Now that I know you're a sultan,

You're always compromised:

There shall never be a chorus again

In your bandit's ballad!

Now I know...

I know

That you are a Don Juan type...

Don Juan...

Bon vivant... Bon vivant!

That there was

Someone else as well

With whom you had encounters;

That you were also cheating on her,

For you don't want to love anyone!

[Chorus:]

Latin macho men

Are dinosaurs,

Museum pieces!

And, on top of that,

I'm a Juliet that belongs

To another Romeo!

[Instrumental]

[Chorus:]

Latin macho men

Are dinosaurs,

Museum pieces!

And, on top of that,

I'm a Juliet that belongs

To another Romeo!
