Full lyrics
Calanguiei, calanguea
O calango na ribeira vai até o sol raiar
Eu vou pra lá, vou levar mariazinha
Filha de mane bento, maricota e mariquinha
Que bom diria se não tivesse rapaz
Só dançava com todas elas até acabar o gás
Vamos menininha calanguear
Vamos pra ribeira balancear
Translation
I danced the calango, dance the calango
The calango by the riverbank goes until the sun rises
I'm going there, I'm taking mariazinha
Daughter of mane bento, maricota and mariquinha
How good it would be if there were no boys
I would only dance with all of them until the energy ran out
Let's go, menininha, dance the calango
Let's go to the riverbank to sway
