Full lyrics

Nóis já tava até largando

Dessa vida de cantá

Pus a viola no saco

Sanfona deixei pra lá


Minha mãe deu uma dura

Nada de aposentá

Pega a viola e sanfona

E faz o povo balançá


Balança tudo, balança tudo

Balança tudo que tivé pra balançá

Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba

Balança tudo, balança tudo

Eu quero vê a galera balançá


Oceis pensô que tava livre

Dessas duas porra louca

Mas nóis gosta de cantá

E vamo metê a boca


Minha mãe falou pra nóis

Não adianta reclamá

Pega a viola e sanfona

E faz o povo balança


Balança tudo, balança tudo

Balança tudo que tivé pra balançá

Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba

Balança tudo, balança tudo

Eu quero vê a galera balançá


Cigarra canta no pau

Nóis duas canta de cá

Pode chover canivete

Nóis não para de cantá


Nós somos filhas da mãe

Que não para de falá

Pega a viola e sanfona

E faz o povo balança


Balança tudo, balança tudo

Balança tudo que tivé pra balançá

Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba

Balança tudo, balança tudo

Eu quero vê a galera balançá


Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba

Balança tudo, balança tudo

Balança tudo que tivé pra balançá

Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba

Balança tudo, balança tudo

Eu quero vê a galera balançá


Balança tudo, balança tudo

Balança tudo que tivé pra balançá

Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba

Balança tudo, balança tudo

Eu quero vê a galera balança


Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba

Balança tudo, balança tudo

Balança tudo que tivé pra balançá

Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba

Balança tudo, balança tudo

Eu quero vê a galera balançá

Translation

We were even about to give up

This life of singing

I put the guitar in its case

Left the accordion behind


My mother gave us a hard time

No retiring at all

Pick up the guitar and accordion

And make the people dance


Shake everything, shake everything

Shake everything there is to shake

Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba

Shake everything, shake everything

I want to see the crowd shake


You thought you were rid of us

These two crazy broads

But we like to sing

And we're going to open our mouths


My mother told us

There's no use complaining

Pick up the guitar and accordion

And make the people dance


Shake everything, shake everything

Shake everything there is to shake

Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba

Shake everything, shake everything

I want to see the crowd shake


The cicada sings in the tree

We two sing from here

It can rain knives

We won't stop singing


We are daughters of the mother

Who doesn't stop talking

Pick up the guitar and accordion

And make the people dance


Shake everything, shake everything

Shake everything there is to shake

Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba

Shake everything, shake everything

I want to see the crowd shake


Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba

Shake everything, shake everything

Shake everything there is to shake

Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba

Shake everything, shake everything

I want to see the crowd shake


Shake everything, shake everything

Shake everything there is to shake

Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba

Shake everything, shake everything

I want to see the crowd dance


Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba

Shake everything, shake everything

Shake everything there is to shake

Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba

Shake everything, shake everything

I want to see the crowd shake
