Full lyrics
Fui a Minas Gerais conhecer um bar
Gostei das mineirinhas que encontrei por lá
Se a safra desse ano não for tão mesquinha
Eu vou doar o bar e caso com uma mineirinha.
Mineira, vem pra cá calanguear.
Mineira, e a poeira levantar 2X
Chamo todo sanfoneiro, zabumbeiro ou violeiro
Lá do Rio de Janeiro pra tocar só pra mineiro
Lá na madrugada eu convido toda gente
Tudo pro terreiro pra cantar esse repente
Translation
I went to Minas Gerais to check out a bar
I liked the girls from Minas I found there
If this year's harvest isn't too stingy
I'll donate the bar and marry a girl from Minas.
Girl from Minas, come here to dance the calango.
Girl from Minas, and raise the dust 2X
I call every accordion player, zabumba player or guitar player
From Rio de Janeiro to play only for people from Minas
There in the early morning I invite everyone
Everyone to the yard to sing this improvisation
