Numa Sala De Reboco Lyrics in English Elba Ramalho

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Numa Sala De Reboco by Elba Ramalho from Portuguese to English.
Ô menino, me traz aí duas flor de lichia
Hey boy, bring me two lychee flowers
Pra eu remendar os pé do povo dançando: Numa Sala de Reboco
So I can mend the feet of the people dancing: In a Mud-Walled Room
Ao som da sanfona de Dominguinhos!
To the sound of Dominguinhos's accordion!
Aí, Seu Lua!
Hey, Mr. Lua!
Parece que eu to vendo o Zé Marculino falando assim: matô-me!
It's like I'm seeing Zé Marculino saying: killed me!
Só se for de alegria
Only if it's from joy
Todo tempo quanto houver pra mim é pouco
All the time there is isn't enough for me
Pra dançar com meu benzinho numa sala de reboco
To dance with my darling in a mud-walled room
Todo tempo quanto houver pra mim é pouco
All the time there is isn't enough for me
Pra dançar com meu benzinho numa sala de reboco
To dance with my darling in a mud-walled room
Enquanto o fole tá tocando, tá gemendo
While the bellows are playing, are moaning
Vou dançando e vou dizendo meu sofrer pra ela só
I keep dancing and telling my suffering just to her
E ninguém nota que eu tô lhe conversando
And nobody notices that I'm talking to her
E nosso amor vai aumentando e pra quê coisa mais mió?
And our love keeps growing, and why would we want anything better?
Todo tempo quanto houver pra mim é pouco
All the time there is isn't enough for me
Pra dançar com meu benzinho numa sala de reboco
To dance with my darling in a mud-walled room
Todo tempo quanto houver pra mim é pouco
All the time there is isn't enough for me
Pra dançar com meu benzinho numa sala de reboco
To dance with my darling in a mud-walled room
Só fico triste quando o dia amanhece
I only get sad when dawn comes
Ai, meu Deus se eu pudesse acabar a separação
Oh, my God, if I could end the separation
Pra nós viver igualado a sanguessuga
So we can live stuck together like a leech
E nosso amor pede mais fuga do que essa que nos dão
And our love needs more escape than what they give us
Todo tempo quanto houver pra mim é pouco
All the time there is isn't enough for me
Pra dançar com meu benzinho numa sala de reboco
To dance with my darling in a mud-walled room
Todo tempo quanto houver pra mim é pouco
All the time there is isn't enough for me
Pra dançar com meu benzinho numa sala de reboco
To dance with my darling in a mud-walled room
O que sô? O Zezé Marculino, segura aí poeta! Já segurou
What is it? Zezé Marculino, hold on there, poet! He already held it
Tá bom demais! Esse é retalhado!
It's great! This one is a blast!
Todo tempo quanto houver pra mim é pouco
All the time there is isn't enough for me
Pra dançar com meu benzinho numa sala de reboco
To dance with my darling in a mud-walled room
Todo tempo quanto houver pra mim é pouco
All the time there is isn't enough for me
Pra dançar com meu benzinho numa sala de reboco
To dance with my darling in a mud-walled room
Enquanto o fole tá tocando, tá gemendo
While the bellows are playing, are moaning
Vou dançando e vou dizendo meu sofrer pra ela só
I keep dancing and telling my suffering just to her
E ninguém nota que eu estou lhe conversando
And nobody notices that I'm talking to her
E nosso amor vai aumentando e pra quê coisa mais mió?
And our love keeps growing, and why would we want anything better?
Todo tempo quanto houver pra mim é pouco
All the time there is isn't enough for me
Pra dançar com meu benzinho numa sala de reboco
To dance with my darling in a mud-walled room
Todo tempo quanto houver pra mim é pouco
All the time there is isn't enough for me
Pra dançar com meu benzinho numa sala de reboco
To dance with my darling in a mud-walled room
Só fico triste quando o dia amanhece
I only get sad when dawn comes
Ai, meu Deus se eu pudesse acabar a separação
Oh, my God, if I could end the separation
Pra nós viver igualado a sanguessuga
So we can live stuck together like a leech
E nosso amor pede mais fuga do que essa que nos dão
And our love needs more escape than what they give us
Todo tempo quanto houver pra mim é pouco
All the time there is isn't enough for me
Pra dançar com meu benzinho numa sala de reboco
To dance with my darling in a mud-walled room
Todo tempo quanto houver pra mim é pouco
All the time there is isn't enough for me
Pra dançar com meu benzinho numa sala de reboco
To dance with my darling in a mud-walled room
Ah Oi?
Ah... Huh?
Armaria! Tá triste, Luiz?
Oh my! Are you sad, Luiz?
Isso tá bom demais! Ora se tá!
This is great! Of course it is!
