Full lyrics
Taí, taí, taí, Mané Gardino
Taí, taí pra você ver
Taí, taí, taí, Mané Gardino:
Fulorinda bota os homens pra roer.
Mané dizia
Que era mentira minha
Que a mulher que ele tinha
Não dançava com ninguém.
Eu disse a ele:
Compadre, não se avexe
Tu vai ver como ela mexe
Quando cai no xenhenhém.
Mané Gardino
Quando viu, tremeu o queixo
Olhando pro remelexo
Da mulher no xenhenhém
Franziu a testa
E disse num desafogo
Que botava a vida em jogo
Sabendo a mulher que tem.
Translation
Here it is, here it is, here it is, Mané Gardino
Here it is, here it is for you to see
Here it is, here it is, here it is, Mané Gardino:
Fulorinda makes the men struggle.
Mané used to say
That I was lying
That the woman he had
Didn't dance with anyone.
I told him:
Compadre, don't worry
You will see how she moves
When she gets into the xenhenhém.
Mané Gardino
When he saw, his chin trembled
Looking at the swaying
Of the woman in the xenhenhém
He frowned
And said with relief
That he would put his life at stake
Knowing the woman he has.
