Full lyrics
Bota, bota lenha na fogueira
E petróleo no côco Raimundo } bis
Pedro Chaves carrega a ronqueira
Distamboca no oco do mundo (bis)
Quando há festa
Na casa do Pedro } bis
O comércio fecha em Própria
Tem zabumba, esquenta muié
E a gente dança sem pagar (bis)
Quando há festa
Na casa do Pedro } bis
Mas compadre, veja como é
Você dança com muié dos outros
E eu danço com sua muié (bis)
Translation
Put, put wood on the bonfire
And oil in Raimundo's coconut } bis
Pedro Chaves carries the noisy gun
Explodes in the hollow of the world (bis)
When there's a party
At Pedro's house } bis
Commerce closes in Própria
There's zabumba, women get lively
And we dance without paying (bis)
When there's a party
At Pedro's house } bis
But friend, see how it is
You dance with other men's women
And I dance with your woman (bis)
