Full lyrics

Eu tava com a Felomena

Ela quis se refrescar

O calor tava malvado

Ninguém podia agüentar

Ela disse meu Lundru

Nós vamos se balançar

A rede veia como foi fogo

Foi com nois dois pra lá e pra cá


Começou a fazer vento com nois dois a palestrar

Filomena ficou beba de tanto se balançar

Eu vi o punho de rede começar a se quebrar

A rede veia comeu foi fogo

Foi com nois dois pra lá e pra cá


A rede tava rasgada e eu tive a impressão

Que com tanto balançado nois terminava no chão

Mas Filomena me disse, meu véio vem mais pra cá

A rede veia como foi fogo

Foi com nois dois pra lá e pra cá

Translation

I was with Felomena

She wanted to cool off

The heat was wicked

No one could stand it

She said my Lundru

We're going to swing

The old hammock, how it was on fire

It went with the two of us back and forth


It started to make wind with the two of us chatting

Filomena got dizzy from swinging so much

I saw the hammock's rope start to break

The old hammock, how it was on fire

It went with the two of us back and forth


The hammock was torn and I had the impression

That with so much swinging we would end up on the ground

But Filomena told me, my old man, come closer

The old hammock, how it was on fire

It went with the two of us back and forth
