Full lyrics

Mariana ta querendo comer papa de maisena

Ela ta querendo ir lá na bar do seu Lucena


No seu Lucena o bar ta quase fechado

Ele é muito afobado, ele não vai atender

Parece até que to ouvindo ele gritar

Isto não é hora de pedir papa em bar


De pedir papa em bar

De pedir papa em bar

De pedir papa em bar

De pedir papa em bar

Translation

Mariana is wanting to eat cornstarch porridge

She is wanting to go there to Mr. Lucena's bar


At Mr. Lucena's, the bar is almost closed

He is very flustered, he won't serve

It even seems that I'm hearing him shout

This is not the time to ask for porridge in a bar


To ask for porridge in a bar

To ask for porridge in a bar

To ask for porridge in a bar

To ask for porridge in a bar
