Full lyrics
Fungô, Fungô, Fungô
Fungô, Fungô, Fungo, hum! } bis
Botaram lenha verde na fogueira
Que brincadeira que acharam de inventar
Agora todo mundo tá sofrendo
A fumaça tá ardendo
Só se ver nego fungá } bis
O pobre sanfoneiro até agora
Só toca e chora
E não mude de lugar
Na sala a fumaça tá matando
A negada tá fungando
Mas num pára de dançar
Translation
Fungô, Fungô, Fungô
Fungô, Fungô, Fungo, hum! } bis
They put green wood on the bonfire
What a game they decided to invent
Now everyone is suffering
The smoke is burning
You only see people sniffing } bis
The poor sanfoneiro until now
Only plays and cries
And doesn't move from his spot
In the room the smoke is killing
The folks are sniffing
But they don't stop dancing
