Maria das Mercedes [English translation]

I have a living girlfriend in the countryside

Maria das Mercedes, she's a beautiful as a hummingbird

Yesterday I got a letter from her that smelled like flowers

'Dear, I'm untouched, pure, come back, please'

When I'm 40

When I'm 40 I will

When I'm 40

When I'm 40 I will

I wanted to write to her old address

About all that I know about the big city

How infamous I was, I forgot her middle-name

If it's Pereira, Moreira, Ferreira

All I know is that it ends in 'eira'

Like that banana plant

If it's Pereira, Moreira, Ferreira

All I know is that it ends in 'eira'

Like that banana plant
