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
