Sapateia

Lyrics - Portuguese

(Folk song from Portugal)

Refrain
Sapateia meu bem, sapateia!
Ai, vira e volta à sapateia!
Ó quantas vezes! Ó quantas
O jantar serve de ceia!

1. Muito bem fica um sapato
Ai, à porta dum sapateiro!
Mais linda fica uma moça
Ao lado dum rapaz solteiro! Refrain

2. Se o padre cura soubesse
Ai, o que a sapateia tem!
Largava de dizer missa,
Sapateava também… Refrain

Refrain
Tap dance my darling, do tap dance!
Ah, turn and go back in the dance!
Oh, how many times! Oh, how many times
Dinner serves as a supper!

1. A shoe looks great
Oh, at the door of a shoemaker!
More beautiful is a girl
Beside a single boy! Refrain

2. If the healing priest knew
Oh, what the shoe has!
I would stop saying mass,
He would also tap dance… Refrain
