Full lyrics
Existe ainda no povoado
Mané rufino com seu fole remendado
O que me deixa encabulado
É que o Rufinio não sai desse pé rapado
(Refrão)
Purum Purum Purum;
Purum Purum Purum;
Purum Purum Purum Purum;
Purum Purum Purum.
Mas o povo da ribeira
Animado como o quê
No fungado do Rufino
Dança até o pé doer
Tendo moça no salão
Que anime o mutier
Cai a noite
Vem o dia
Nasce o Sol
E ninguém vê
(Refrão)
Purum Purum Purum;
Purum Purum Purum;
Purum Purum Purum Purum;
Purum Purum Purum.
O Rufino quando arranja
O Xodó fica animado
Quebra o chapéu na testa
Só quem tá aperreado
Se levanta sai ciscando
Como o galo arrepiado
Mas o danado do fole
Não sai desse pé rapado
Translation
There's still in the village
Mané Rufino with his patched accordion
What leaves me puzzled
Is that Rufino doesn't escape this destitution
Purum Purum Purum;
Purum Purum Purum;
Purum Purum Purum Purum;
Purum Purum Purum.
But the riverside people
Incredibly lively
To Rufino's puffing
Dance until their feet hurt
With girls in the hall
To liven up the crowd
Night falls
Day comes
The Sun rises
And no one notices
Purum Purum Purum;
Purum Purum Purum;
Purum Purum Purum Purum;
Purum Purum Purum.
When Rufino finds
A sweetheart, he gets lively
He pushes his hat back on his forehead
Only someone who's troubled (would act differently)
He gets up and starts shuffling
Like a ruffled rooster
But the stubborn accordion
Doesn't escape this destitution
