Translation
São Simão winnower dance (malhão)
Where are you headed in such a hurry,
Brunette of mischievous eyes,
Where are you headed in such a hurry?
O winnower, winnower
Where are you headed in such a hurry?
So quick and in a frenzy
So full of vanity?
This I could well be
You called me little brunette
This I could well be
Ah, winnower, winnower
This I could well be
You should see me on Sunday
I am like a rose in a rose garden!
Go choose a spot where I will be able to see you
If you will be at the Sunday's mass
Go choose a spot where I will be able to see you
Ah, winnower, winnower
Go choose a spot where I will be able to see you
Should not you sit, light of my eyes,
Right there, in the middle of the church!
I have to go to church another day
It can be arranged for next Sunday
I have to go to church another day!
Ah, winnower, winnower
I have to go to church another day
To meet my lover
At the sacristy's door!

About translator
Whereas a translation is presented as 'singable', it's by no means intended to be a literal version of the lyrics in another language. It just aspires to be a rhythmical, sometimes also rhyming, rendition of the text, so that different words can be sung along to the music, keeping the original meaning as much as the syllable count makes it possible .
