Full lyrics
refrão:
Oi! Trepa no coqueiro!
Tira coco!
Jipe, jipe! Nheco, nheco!
No coqueiro olirá
(bis)
Papai, cadê Maria?
Maria foi passiá.
(bis)
Os passeios de Maria
Faz papai e mamãe chorar.
(bis)
(refrão)
Maria é moça nova
Sortera, num tem juízo
(bis)
Os passeio de Maria
Só pode dar prejuízo
(bis)
(refrão)
Maria sobe ladeira,
Maria pula o regato
(bis)
Mas com essa brincadeira
Gasta a sola do sapato!
(bis)
(refrão)
Translation
// refrão //
Hey! Climb the coconut tree!
Pick coconuts!
Jipe, jipe! Nheco, nheco!
In the coconut tree olirá
(bis)
Paddy, where is Maria?
Maria went for a walk.
(bis)
Maria's walks
Make daddy and mommy cry.
(bis)
(refrão)
Maria is a young woman
Single, she has no sense
(bis)
Maria's walks
Can only cause trouble
(bis)
(refrão)
Maria climbs hills,
Maria jumps the stream
(bis)
But with this playing around
She wears out the sole of her shoe!
(bis)
(refrão)
