Twenty Year Old Big Skirt
Saiona d'Vinte Ano
Twenty Year Old Big Skirt
Já soma na cabeçada
Comes near with her mischief
Pál bem contá o qu'êle qu'uvi
To repeat gossip
Ma êl cá contá quêl palmada
But she doesn't tell about the beating
Qu'ês da sê filha Zizi
That they gave her daughter Zizi
Hora qu'bô contá um conte
When you pass on a story
Contál tintin por tintin
Tell it to the letter
Cá bô crescental um ponto
Don't you exaggerate it even one bit
Pâs ca levobe pa Furtin
For them to take you to prison
(refrain)
