Full lyrics

Apaga o Candeeiro rapaz, são todos de casa pra que gás?

Apaga o Candeeiro rapaz, são todos de casa pra que gás?


Seu mané é casado com Zabé

Severino casado com Zezé

Olegário casado com Raqué

Esse coco besteira ninguém faz

A latada tá cheia e cabe mais

Quando aqui tiver muito fuzueiro

A gente se arranca pro terreiro

Que é noite de dia pra que gás


Apaga o Candeeiro rapaz, são todos de casa pra que gás?

Apaga o Candeeiro rapaz, são todos de casa pra que gás?


O coco que fala é de pandeiro

Não é coco de coqueiro

Segura a pisada companheiro

É de frente é de banda é pra trás

Com respeito e isso é lá com os casais

Se o cabo chegar pra querer ver

A gente dá um viva pra valer

Que é dia claro pra que gás

Translation

Turn off the lamp, boy, everyone's home, why the gas?

Turn off the lamp, boy, everyone's home, why the gas?


Mr. Mané is married to Zabé

Severino is married to Zezé

Olegário is married to Raqué

No one does this silly coco dance

The arbor is full and there's room for more

When it gets too noisy here

We'll head out to the yard

Since it's daytime at night, why the gas?


Turn off the lamp, boy, everyone's home, why the gas?

Turn off the lamp, boy, everyone's home, why the gas?


The coco that speaks is from a tambourine

It's not coconut from a coconut tree

Hold the beat, partner

It's forward, it's sideways, it's backwards

With respect, and that's with the couples

If the cop arrives wanting to see

We'll give a cheer for real

Since it's broad daylight, why the gas?
