Oiça Lá, Ó Senhor Vinho [English translation]

Listen, O Mister Wine

You will answer me, but frankly:

Why do you take away all the firmness

of those you meet in your way?

By drinking a cup more,

even quiet people,

friend wine, in disarray,

Your Grace makes them walk on all fours!

It's bad procedure,

and there is an intention on what you do.

The person goes out of balance,

there is no balance to be found.

The laws of physics fail

and the vertical line from anywhere

swings without stopping,

and it ceases to be perpendicular.

"I've been, "replies the wine, "

"The loose leaf dancing in the wind

I was sunshine in the sky

that brought sweet affection to grape

I still have the warmth of the sun

and so I also give life,

I increase the value of anyone

in the right account, weight and measure.

And I only do harm to who

judges me nobody

and belittles me.

Who treats me like water,

it's an offense, I repay it!

Here, I'm like this.

Your Grace is right

and it's ungratitude

badmouthing wine.

And to prove what I say

come on, my friend,

one more cup!
