Full lyrics

Quando o galo canta e o macaco assovia

Vai ter carimbo na casa da Maria


Maria Cria o macaco

Cria um galo também

Ela tomou os bichinhos

Na capital de belém

O povo todo já sabe

Principalmente a maria

Quando vai ter carimbo

O galo canta e o macaco assovia


Maria Ensinou ao macaco

Assoviar sirimbó

O galo também aprendeu

A cantar o carimbo

Maria vive contente

Com os bichinhos que cria

Porque quando tem carimbo

O galo canta e o macaco assobia

Translation

When the rooster crows and the monkey whistles

There will be carimbó at Maria's house


Maria raises the monkey

Raises a rooster too

She took the little animals

In the capital of Belém

All the people already know

Especially Maria

When there will be carimbó

The rooster crows and the monkey whistles


Maria taught the monkey

To whistle sirimbó

The rooster also learned

To sing the carimbó

Maria lives happily

With the little animals she raises

Because when there is carimbó

The rooster crows and the monkey whistles
