Vira dos Malmequeres [English translation]
Vira dos Malmequeres [English translation]
Oh daisy you liar
Who taught you to lie?
You say that you wish me well
For those who flee from me.
Refrain:
I pluck petals from a daisy
In the beautiful garden of Santarém
Loves me not, loves me
Who loves me is very far away
A tiny daisy
Said one day to a lovely rose
Why do they call you a queen
Do not be so proud.
Refrain:
I pluck petals from a daisy
In the beautiful garden of Santarém
Loves me not, loves me
Who loves me is very far away
The daisy is not constant
The daisy varies greatly
Twenty petals say death
Thirteen say joy.
Refrain (x2):
I pluck petals from a daisy
In the beautiful garden of Santarém
Loves me not, loves me
Who loves me is very far away
Lusitana, dark rose
Do not be sorry, my loyal love
Give me your arms, give me your bonds
And come cheer for Portugal
