Full lyrics
Eu nesse côco num vadeio mais
Apagaro o candeeiro, derramaro o gai (Côro) (4x)
Apagaro o candeeiro, derramaro o gái
Coisa boa nesse escuro já sei que num sai
Já não tão mais respeitando nem eu que sou pai
Pois me deram um beliscão quase a carça cai
Começando desse jeito num sei pronde vai
Por isso nesse côco num vadeio mais
Eu nesse côco num vadeio mais...
No escuro desse jeito ninguém se distrai
Pai de moça nessa festa só vai ter trabái
Seu Zé Chico nesse côco e Isabé num cai
O seu noivo tá querendo mas eu sou o pai
Ou acende um candeeiro bem cheim de gái
Ou ela nesse côco num vadeia mais
Eu nesse côco num vadeio mais...
Sazefinha entrou no côco com a gente e num sai
Pois ficou que nem badalo dentro do chocái
Levou tanta imbigada que caiu pra trái
Saiu andando manca que nem papagái
Seu marido foi falar mas levou cinco tái
Por isso nesse côco num vadeio mais
Translation
I won't dance in this côco anymore
They put out the lamp, they spilled the oil (Chorus) (4x)
They put out the lamp, they spilled the oil
I know nothing good comes out of this darkness
They're not even respecting me, who is a father
Because they gave me a pinch, my pants almost fell
Starting this way, I don't know where it's going
That's why I won't dance in this côco anymore
I won't dance in this côco anymore...
In the dark like this, nobody gets distracted
A girl's father at this party will only have trouble
Seu Zé Chico in this côco and Isabé doesn't fall
Her fiancé wants to, but I am the father
Either light a lamp full of oil
Or she won't dance in this côco anymore
I won't dance in this côco anymore...
Sazefinha joined the côco with us and didn't leave
For she became like a clapper inside the rattle
She took so many belly bumps that she fell backwards
She left walking lame like a parrot
Her husband went to speak but took five slaps
That's why I won't dance in this côco anymore
