Full lyrics
O dia vem raiando
Só tem cinza na fogueira
Cada um pra sua casa
Acabou-se a brincadeira
Sanfoneiro pare o fole
Que já é segunda-feira
Comeram a canjica toda
Deram sumiço ao quentão } bis
Só tem garrafa vazia
Pelos cantos do salão
E os bêbo renitente
Procurando confusão
A mulher que veio comigo
Agarrou-se com Toinho
E a sua companheira
Se mandou com Dominguinhos
Só sendo mesmo uma praga
Da mulher do meu vizinho } bis
Translation
The day is dawning
There's only ash in the bonfire
Everyone to their home
The fun is over
Sanfoneiro stop the fole
Because it's already Monday
They ate all the canjica
They made the quentão disappear } bis
There are only empty bottles
In the corners of the hall
And the persistent drunkards
Looking for trouble
The woman who came with me
Grabbed onto Toinho
And his companion
Left with Dominguinhos
Only being a real plague
From my neighbor's wife } bis
