Ai Rapaz Lyrics in English Deolinda

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ai Rapaz by Deolinda from Portuguese to English.
Ai, rapaz!
Oh, boy!
Se tu soubesses bem
If you knew well
Como é que eu fico
How do I look
Quando vou ao bailarico
When I go to the ballet
E te miro a dançar
And I aim at you dancing
Ó-ai, à marcial
Oh, ai, to the martial
Já tentei dançar assim também
I've tried dancing like that too
A esse ritmo, cada passo com sentido
At this rate, every step with meaning
E eu nem gosto de marchar
And I don't even like to march
Ó-ai, mas quem me viu?!
Oh, but who saw me?!
Ai, rapaz, mas eu queria
Ad, boy, but I wanted to
Uma valsa a três passos
A three-step waltz
Dar-te a mão e ver a vida
Give you a hand and see life
Agarrada a teus braços, ai
Clinging to your arms, ai
Fui-me pôr
I went to put myself
Sentada mesmo à frente
Sitting right in front
E ali esperei
And there I waited
A tantos eu neguei
To so many I denied
O prazer da minha dança
The pleasure of my dance
Ó-ai, que era só tua
Oh, oh, that was only yours
Mas o bar também chamou por ti
But the bar also called for you
Num entretanto e a banda ia tocando
In the meantime and the band was playing
E quando tu de lá voltaste
And when you came back from there
Ó-ai, a valsa acabou!
Oh, oh, the waltz is over!
Ai, rapaz, mas eu queria
Ad, boy, but I wanted to
Ir na roda e ser teu par!
Go on the wheel and be your date!
Dar-te a mão, ir na folia
Give you a hand, go in the revelry
E não mais eu te largar, ó-ai
And i don't let go of you anymore, oh
Foi então
It was then
Que a roda se fez
That the wheel was made
Ao largo, larga
Offshore, wide
Tanta gente, muita farra
So many people, so much spree
E nós ali na multidão
And we're there in the crowd
Ó-ai, com outro par!
Oh, with another pair!
Fui passando
I've been passing
Par a par, nem sei
On par, I don't even know
Quantos ao certo
How many for sure
E tu cada vez mais perto
And you getting closer and closer
E quando só faltava um
And when there was only one missing
Ó-ai, veio o leilão!
Oh, there, the auction is here!
Ai, rapaz, o que eu queria
Ai, boy, what I wanted
Era um baile bem mandado
It was a well-ordered ball
Que nos guiasse à sacristia
Let him guide us to the sacristy
E voltássemos casados, ai
And we'd come back married, then
E do palco
And from the stage
Surgiu uma voz
A voice came up
E a concertina
And the concertina
'roda manel, vira maria
'wheel manel, turns maria
E quem não vira perde a roda!'
And those who don't turn loses the wheel!'
Ó-ai, e eu virei!
Oh, and I'll come!
Mas a voz
But the voice
Puxada à concertina
Pulled to concertina
Mais pedia
More asked
E acelarava a melodia
And lit the melody
Os pés trocavam-se no chão
Feet changed on the floor
Ó-ai, e assim foi
Oh, oh, and so it was
Ai, rapaz, e foi o baile
Ai, boy, and it was the ball
Sem alma nem coração
No soul or heart
Mal cantado e mal mandado
Poorly sung and poorly ordered
Que me atirou ao chão, ó ai
Who threw me to the ground, oh
E foste tu a dar-me a mão
And you were the one to give me your hand
