Full lyrics
Na Quixabinha tinha samba de latada
E no portal da madrugada
Se via o couro comer
E "Mariinha" com a saia amarrotada
Sapateava até o dia amanhecer, iá iá...
Maria, Maria, maninha minha
Na porta da camarinha
Você vinha aflorar
E o velho bardo violeiro seu Conrado
Tocava um côco suculento sincopado
E as dançadeiras respondiam num trinado
Batendo o pé com refrão bem afiado
Maria, Maria, maninha minha
Na porta da camarinha
Você vinha aflorar
De tocador pra tocador Tonho Rimualdo
Rastava o banjo com farto ripinicado
Seu último arranjo para o céu foi destinado
E a Quixabinha dormia ao sol acordado
Translation
In Quixabinha there was samba de latada
And at the dawn's portal
You could see the party get wild
And Mariinha with her wrinkled skirt
Tapped her feet until dawn, iá iá...
Maria, Maria, my dear sister
At the camarinha's door
You would emerge
And the old bard violeiro seu Conrado
Played a succulent syncopated côco
And the dancers responded with a trill
Tapping their feet with a sharp chorus
Maria, Maria, my dear sister
At the camarinha's door
You would emerge
From musician to musician, Tonho Rimualdo
Dragged the banjo with abundant ripinicado
His last arrangement was destined for heaven
And Quixabinha slept in the awakened sun
