Man's justice condemns bigamy
No woman can have two Joses
No man can have two Marias (That's why)

Tooth for tooth (compadre), eye for eye
If you try to deceive me, soak your beard, soak it
Tooth for tooth (compadre), eye for eye
If you try to deceive me, soak your beard

You who call yourself a trickster, you're not a trickster
Because there's no trickster man for a woman
You've done the first, but you won't do the second
From today on, the rights are equal (I said)

Tooth for tooth (compadre), eye for eye
If you try to deceive me, soak your beard, soak it
Tooth for tooth (I said), eye for eye
If you try to deceive me, soak your beard

Oh praying lady
Praying lady
Oh praying lady
My lady

Oh praying lady
Praying lady
Oh praying lady

Praying lady
Pray a prayer with faith
So that the Brazilian race
Always stands tall
Pray that our people
Always live in freedom
And build a new world
Full of happiness
I said oh lady

Oh praying lady
Praying lady
Oh praying lady
My lady

Oh praying lady
Praying lady
Oh praying lady

Pray that the gentle moon
Never ceases to shine
And in life, hope
Never fails us
Pray that falsehood
Is always overcome
And that love and kindness
Always walk hand in hand
I said oh lady

Oh praying lady
Praying lady
Oh praying lady
My lady

Oh praying lady
Praying lady
Oh praying lady

Oh Isaura, pick up the guitar
Oh Isaura, pick up the guitar
The samba is good, it's not going to end now
The samba is good, it's not going to end now

Oh Isaura, oh Isaura, pick up the guitar
Oh Isaura, pick up the guitar
The samba is good, it's not going to end now
The samba is good, it's not going to end now

Up in the Mangueira hill
Only those who don't want to, don't climb
Because there's Tengo-Tengo
Saint Anthony and Chalé

Oh Isaura, oh Isaura, pick up the guitar
Oh Isaura, pick up the guitar
The samba is good, it's not going to end now
The samba is good, it's not going to end now

Every rich person when they die
It's because Jesus took them
Every poor person when they die
It's because liquor killed them

Oh Isaura, oh Isaura, pick up the guitar
Oh Isaura, pick up the guitar
The samba is good, it's not going to end now
The samba is good, it's not going to end now

Oh Isaura, oh Isaura, pick up the guitar
Oh Isaura, pick up the guitar
The samba is good, it's not going to end now
The samba is good, it's not going to end now

Oh Isaura, oh Isaura, pick up the guitar
Oh Isaura, pick up the guitar
The samba is good, it's not going to end now
The samba is good, it's not going to end now

Oh Isaura, oh Isaura, pick up the guitar
Oh Isaura
