Full lyrics

Seu Zé pega a viola

E vem tocar

Eu vim de muito longe

Pra dançar

Tempera lá na prima

O que quiser

Vou arrastar o pé

Com seu Zé


Aqui no pé de serra

Sempre foi assim

O baila fica cheio

E vai cheio ate o fim


Se não tiver ninguém

Pra ser meu par

Eu danço ate sozinha sem parar

Balanço com as cadeiras

Assim, assim

Espalho no salão ate o fim

Translation

Seu Zé takes the viola

And comes to play

I came from very far

To dance

Tune it on the high string

Whatever you want

I'm going to shuffle my feet

With Seu Zé


Here at the foot of the mountain

It's always been like this

The dance gets full

And stays full until the end


If there's no one

To be my partner

I dance even alone without stopping

I sway my hips

Like this, like this

I spread out on the dance floor until the end
