Vaquinha Mansa
Sweet Little Cow
Vaquinha mansa
Sweet little cow
Bô carinha contente
With your little smiling face
Bô boquinha tão doce
Your hungry little mouth
Bô sabê é sô ranjá trança
You are good at making trouble
Andá bem cautelada
Be very careful
Procurá sinceridade
Seek out sincerity
Hora qui Deus enfadá
The day that God gets angry
Mas certo é maternidade
It will surely mean maternity
(refrain, repeated after each stanza)
Bô é um gantcha
Your name as a loose woman
Bô fama ta corrido
Is already made
Já bô perdê bô valor
You have already lost your value
É pa quê bô é mansinha
Because of your willingness
