Full lyrics

Cheguei!


Traz sais, traz sais, traz sais

O velho chegou agora

Traz sais, traz sais, traz sais

O velho chegou agora

Estou chegando de Cuba, ai, ai

Com minha manjuba de fora

Está chegando de Cuba, ai, ai

Com sua manjuba de fora


Eu sou o velho Quiabo

Camaleão das foiage

Viajo com o Alceu Valença

Na estrada da ciganage

Translation

I've arrived!


Bring salts, bring salts, bring salts

The old man has arrived now

Bring salts, bring salts, bring salts

The old man has arrived now

I'm arriving from Cuba, oh, oh

With my manjuba out

He's arriving from Cuba, oh, oh

With his manjuba out


I am old Okra

Chameleon of the foliage

I travel with Alceu Valença

On the road of the gypsies
