Full lyrics
Dança, dança, Mariquinha
Para o povo apreciar
Essa boa mazurquinha
Que pra você vou cantar
Ouça, meu bem
A sanfona tocar
Quitiribom, quitiribom
Toca no baixo desse acordeom
Quitiribom, quitiribom
Que mazurquinha
Que compasso bom
Quando pego na sanfona
A turma se levanta
E pede uma mazurca
Quando bato a mão no fole
Sei que a turma toda
Vai ficar maluca
Todo mundo se admira
Do fraseada que a sanfona diz
Quando acaba a contradança
O povo admirado ainda pede bis
Translation
Dance, dance, Mariquinha
For the people to enjoy
This good mazurka
That I will sing for you
Listen, my dear
The accordion play
Quitiribom, quitiribom
Play on the bass of this accordion
Quitiribom, quitiribom
What a mazurka
What a good rhythm
When I pick up the accordion
The crowd stands up
And asks for a mazurka
When I hit my hand on the bellows
I know that the whole crowd
Will go crazy
Everyone marvels
At the phrasing the accordion plays
When the contradance ends
The amazed people still ask for an encore
