Full lyrics

- Peraí, mas outra não que eu não sou cigarra pra estalar.

Aqui, aqui o... Olha, olha o negocio tá muito gostosinho, muito bonzinho mas tem umas coisinhas que eu não tô gostando. Não é?

Josefa?

-Oi?

-Venha Cá?

- Que que tu quer?

- Não tá bom aqui não. Muito gente armado dentro do salão. Isso não esta direito. Você vai desarmar essa raça, hein?

- Tá certo meu marido

- Pegue a arma daquele cidadão ali. Traga o cacete. Traga pra cá.Muito bem, o outro lá com a foice. Eu estou vendo. Pega o trabuco do outro. Mas o cidadão daquele com um punhal daquele tamanho. Pra que trazer isso num salão de dança. Traz pra cá. Muito bem. Leva o braçado e bota em cima da cama

- Adonde?

- Em cima da cama.

- E deixa a porta aberta?

- Deixa a porta aberta. So entrego amanha de manhã, quando acabar o baile. Agora pessoal, diga ae. Vou chamar um convidado. Chama-se Argentino Cavalcante. Cabra do chapéu de couro grande. Vai cantar pra nós.


Comeu batata doce com melado e aipim

Depois saiu dizendo

Hoje tá pra mim

Hoje tá pra mim

Hoje tá pra mim


Cabra danado, malcriado e atrapalhão

Jogou um trique traque lá no meio do salão

Todo mundo falava, ele nem tava ligando

E andava no meio da sala, comendo farofa e assoviando

Translation

- Hold on, not another one, I'm not a cicada to snap.

Here, here... Look, look, the thing is very pleasant, very nice but there are some things I'm not liking. Right?

Josefa?

-Yes?

-Come here?

- What do you want?

- It's not good here. Too many armed people inside the hall. This isn't right. You're going to disarm that lot, huh?

- Alright, my husband

- Take that citizen's weapon over there. Bring the club. Bring it here. Very good, the other one there with the scythe. I see him. Take the other one's blunderbuss. But that citizen with a dagger that big. Why bring that to a dance hall? Bring it here. Very good. Take the armful and put it on the bed.

- Where?

- On the bed.

- And leave the door open?

- Leave the door open. I'll only return them tomorrow morning, when the ball is over. Now folks, tell me. I'm going to call a guest. His name is Argentino Cavalcante. A fellow with a big leather hat. He's going to sing for us.


Ate sweet potato with molasses and cassava

Then he went out saying

Today is my day

Today is my day

Today is my day


A mischievous, ill-mannered, and clumsy fellow

Threw a firecracker in the middle of the hall

Everyone was talking, he wasn't even paying attention

And walked around the room, eating farofa and whistling
