Hoje tem espetáculo?
Tem sim senhor
Às nove horas da noite
Tem sim senhor
E o palhaço o que é?
Ladrão de mulher
E o palhaço o que é?
Ladrão de mulher
Senhora dona que sai na janela, sorria doce que o circo chegou
Larga a vassoura e deixe as panela corra, menina bela que o circo chegou
Temos a presença de animais adestrados, anões, palhaços e mais
Pirotecnia com artista que puesta el fuego encantado
No final do espetáculo o Circo Nagib Mazolla apresenta a peça
Cleópatra, a Rainha do Egito
Que marcou a história de Roma e o reino encantado da Turquia
É hoje no largo da Janarinha
Qual é a hora?
Às nove horas
Translation
Is there a show today?
Yes sir, there is
At nine o'clock at night?
Yes sir, there is
And what is the clown?
A woman thief
And what is the clown?
A woman thief
Lady owner who comes to the window, smile sweetly, the circus has arrived
Put down the broom and leave the pans, run, beautiful girl, the circus has arrived
We have the presence of trained animals, dwarves, clowns and more
Pyrotechnics with an artist who puts on the enchanted fire
At the end of the show, the Nagib Mazolla Circus presents the play
Cleopatra, the Queen of Egypt
Who marked the history of Rome and the enchanted kingdom of Turkey
It's today in the Janarinha square
What time is it?
At nine o'clock
