Full lyrics
Lingo, lingo, lingo, lingo
A viola de Penedo
Toca ponteado
Bongo, bongo, bongo, bongo
É zabumba a noite toda
No coco rodado
Zéca Tomé de Porto Calvo
Num coco em jaboatão
Fez todo mundo dar risada
Na primeira umbigada
Que levou e sentou no chão
A fazer coisa que eu não gosto
Prefiro ir preso e passar fome
Morro dizendo que não quero
Não aceito e não tolero
Dança de home com home
Coco que tem mulher bonita
A noite passa e ninguém sente
Elas mantêm a gente preso
E tudo que é home aceso
Dando umbigada na gente
Cabra enxerido eu dou cachaça
E finjo que bebo com ele
Se ele fica bebo e dorme
Não tem talvez nem conforme
Vão rodar com a mulher dele
Translation
Lingo, lingo, lingo, lingo
The viola from Penedo
Plays plucked
Bongo, bongo, bongo, bongo
It's zabumba all night long
In the coco rodado
Zéca Tomé from Porto Calvo
In a coco in Jaboatão
Made everyone laugh
At the first umbigada
That he took and sat on the ground
To do something I don't like
I prefer to go to jail and go hungry
I die saying I don't want to
I don't accept and I don't tolerate
Dance of man with man
Coco that has beautiful women
The night passes and no one feels it
They keep us captivated
And every man lit up
Giving us umbigada
To an intrusive cabra I give cachaça
And I pretend to drink with him
If he gets drunk and sleeps
There's no maybe or according to
They will dance with his woman
