Full lyrics
Ele quebrou a mesa
Ele fechou o bar
Chamou Sinhá Pureza
E ela não quis dançar
Ficou a noite inteira
Até amanhecer o dia
E na cadeira vazia
Ele mesmo foi sentar
Ô, bicho bêsta,
E assim foi a noite inteira
Ele só fez confusão
A polícia chegou
E ele foi dormir no chão
Ô, bicho bêsta,
Translation
He broke the table
He closed the bar
He called Miss Pureza
And she didn't want to dance
He stayed the whole night
Until the day dawned
And in the empty chair
He himself went to sit
Oh, silly creature,
And so it was the whole night
He only made trouble
The police arrived
And he went to sleep on the floor
Oh, silly creature,
