Alfredo Marceneiro - O Leilão da Mariquinhas

Ninguém sabe dizer nada
Da famosa Mariquinhas
A casa foi leiloada
Venderam-lhe as tabuinhas

Ainda fresca e com gagé
Encontrei na Mouraria
A antiga Rosa Maria
E o Chico do Cachené
Fui-lhes falar, já se vê
E perguntei-lhes, de entrada
P'la Mariquinhas coitada?
Respondeu-me o Chico: e vê-la
Tenho querido saber dela
Ninguém sabe dizer nada

E as outras suas amigas?
A Clotilde, a Júlia, a Alda
A Inês, a Berta e Mafalda?
E as outras mais raparigas?
Aprendiam-lhe as cantigas
As mais ternas, coitadinhas
Formosas como andorinhas
Olhos e peitos em brasa
Que pena tenho da casa
Da formosa mariquinhas

Então o Chico apertado
Com perguntas, explicou-se
A vizinhança zangou-se
Fez um abaixo assinado
Diziam que havia fado
Ali até madrugada
E a pobre foi intimada
A sair, foi posta fora
E por more duma penhora
A casa foi leiloada

O Chico foi ao leilão
Arrematou a guitarra
O espelho a colcha com barra
O cofre forte e o fogão
Como não houve gambão
Porque eram coisas mesquinhas
Trouxe um par de chinelinhas
O alvará e as bambinelas
E até das próprias janelas
Venderam-lhe as tabuinhas
Linhares Barbosa / Popular (Fado Mouraria)

No one knows how to say anything.

From the famous Sissy

The house was auctioned

They sold him the tablets.

Still fresh and with gagé

I found in Mouraria

The old Rosa Maria

And Chico do Cachené

I have told you, you see

And I asked them in advance

P'la Mariquinhas poor?

Chico answered: and to see her

I have wanted to know her

No one knows how to say anything.

What about your other friends?

Clotilde, Julia, Alda

To Ines, to Berta and Mafalda?

What about the other girls?

They learned the songs

The most tender, little things

Beautiful as swallows

Burning eyes and breasts

I'm so sorry about the house.

The beautiful sissy

So the tight boy

With questions, it was explained

The neighborhood was angry

Signed below

They said that he had fado

There until dawn

And the poor woman was intimated

Leaving, was put out

And for more than one attachment

The house was auctioned

Chico went to the auction house

He hit the guitar

The quilt mirror with bar

Safe and Stove

As there was no gambão

Because they were mean things

I brought a pair of slippers

The alvará and the bambinelas

And even the windows themselves

They sold him the tablets.
