Full lyrics
Nós numa sala rebocada
Daquele jeitinho
O salão tava apertado
A gente bem juntinho
Enquanto o fole roncava
Eu cantava pra ela
Só se ouve no salão
O chiado da chinela
Chiou, chiou, chiôhô!
Só se ouve no salão
O chiado da chinela
Daqui a pouco amanhece
E o fungado
Continua no salão
O fole tá gemendo
O triângulo e o zabumba,
Tá ficando claro
Apague o lampião
Chiou, chiou, chiôhô!
Tá ficando claro
Apague o lampião
Translation
We in a plastered room
In that little way
The hall was crowded
We very close together
While the fole snored
I sang to her
Only heard in the hall
The squeak of the slipper
Squeaked, squeaked, squeaked-oh!
Only heard in the hall
The squeak of the slipper
Soon it will dawn
And the heavy breathing
Continues in the hall
The fole is groaning
The triangle and the zabumba,
It's getting light
Turn off the lamp
Squeaked, squeaked, squeaked-oh!
It's getting light
Turn off the lamp
