Full lyrics
Deixa, Juca
Deixa
Deixa de queixa e vamos cantar
Se a mocinha fugiu dos teus braços
É sinal que ainda vai melhorar
Embora cantando, sorrindo ou chorando
Todos queremos te ver voltar
O povo da vila vivia falando
Que tu não cantava pra gente escutar
Nos braços da moça vivias sonhando
E ela roubando o cantor do lugar
A fuga da moça com Chico Mulato
Só trouxe de fato alegria pra nós
Em bora cantando, sorrindo ou chorando
Vamos de novo escutar tua voz
Deixa, Juca
Deixa (...)
Translation
Leave it, Juca
Leave it
Stop complaining and let's sing
If the girl ran away from your arms
It's a sign that it will still get better
Even singing, smiling or crying
We all want to see you come back
The people of the village lived talking
That you didn't sing for us to hear
In the girl's arms you lived dreaming
And she stealing the singer from the place
The girl's escape with Chico Mulato
Only brought joy to us in fact
Even singing, smiling or crying
Let's hear your voice again
Leave it, Juca
Leave it
