Full lyrics

Responda esse coco balança o ganzá

Cuidado caboclo não é beira mar


Menina este coco nasceu na areia

Ouvindo a sereia cantando no mar

A onda quebrando no ar clareando

E a gente sambando ao som do ganzá

O vento soprando suaviza a brisa

Mostrando que o dia já vai começar


Quem vai lá na praia em noite enluarada

Em qualquer latada da gosto de chegar

Quem não quer sambar fica lá no terreiro

Ouvindo pandeiro no coco a zoar

Mulher a cantar e todo mundo dançando

E o coco rolando até o sol raiar

Translation

Answer this coconut, shake the ganzá

Careful, countryman, it's not the seaside


Girl, this coconut was born on the sand

Hearing the mermaid singing in the sea

The wave breaking in the air, brightening

And we dancing to the sound of the ganzá

The wind blowing softens the breeze

Showing that the day is about to begin


Who goes to the beach on a moonlit night

In any arbor, it's a pleasure to arrive

Who doesn't want to samba stays there in the yard

Listening to the tambourine in the coconut buzzing

Woman singing and everyone dancing

And the coconut rolling until the sun rises
