O Namorico Da Rita [English translation]

In the Ribeira market

There is a love romance

Between Rita the fish vendor

And Chico the fisherman

You all know that there

Rita fancies Chico

Only her mother is not

In favour of the dalliance

When she passes through

She smiles shamelessly

Yet Chico does not engage nor say anything

That her mother when she happens

To see that Chico comes near

For no particular reason makes all Ribeira shake

They date in the early morning

And in the most diverse of ways

Over two boxes of sardines

They have a chat

And some say proudly

That after so much hassle

Chico frequently

Plants two kisses on Rita.
