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 appreciate
This good mazurka
That I'm going to sing for you
Listen, my dear
The accordion playing
Quitiribom, quitiribom
Play the bass of this accordion
Quitiribom, quitiribom
What a mazurka
What a good rhythm
When I pick up the accordion
The crowd gets up
And asks for a mazurka
When I put my hand on the bellows
I know the whole crowd
Will go crazy
Everyone admires
The phrasing that the accordion says
When the square dance ends
The admired people still ask for an encore
