Full lyrics

O povo do meu bairro é pra frente

Veja como derrepente o que aconteceu

Pois arranjaram uma sanfona e um pandeiro

Foram pro meio do terreiro e o couro comeu

O couro comeu

O couro comeu

Foram pro meio do terreiro e o couro comeu


De lá pra meia noite todo mundo embriagado

O sanfoneiro zangado porque não bebeu

Parou o fole para tomar uma caipirinha

Mais mexeu com Mariquinha e o couro comeu

O couro comeu

O couro comeu

Foi mexer com Mariquinha e o couro comeu


Porem o delegado que e homem de direito

Disse: "falta de respeito não é gosto meu"

Prendeu a turma por causa da briga feia

Mais lá dentro da cadeia foi que o couro comeu

O couro comeu

O couro comeu

Foi lá dentro da cadeia que o couro comeu

Translation

The people in my neighborhood are go-getters

See how suddenly things happened

They got an accordion and a tambourine

Went to the middle of the yard and things got wild

Things got wild

Things got wild

Went to the middle of the yard and things got wild


From then until midnight everyone was drunk

The accordion player was angry because he hadn't drunk

Stopped playing to have a caipirinha

But messed with Mariquinha and things got wild

Things got wild

Things got wild

Messed with Mariquinha and things got wild


But the delegate, who is a man of the law

Said: "Lack of respect is not to my liking"

Arrested the group because of the ugly fight

But inside the jail is where things got wild

Things got wild

Things got wild

Inside the jail is where things got wild
