Full lyrics
Na emenda
Amarre a corda direito
Na emenda
Pra corda não rebentar
Na emenda
Mas dê um nó de respeito
Quero o povo satisfeito
Bincando de emendar
Atenção, Pessoal
Esse ano vamos brincar de roda
Todo mundo emendando
E vamos emendar
Na emenda
Tem moça que quebra jura
Na emenda
Depois não pode emendar
Na emenda
Mas cantador de viola
Arruma a rima na hora
E não deixa rima quebrar
Na emenda
Eu vou fazer um engenho
Na emenda
De corda de Caruá
Na emenda
É um trabalho bonito
Mulher torcendo o cambito
Fazendo a corda acochar
Na emenda
Os velhos tavam brincando
Na emenda
Depois deram pra brigar
Na emenda
A tristeza criou dó
Vovô enganou vovó
Na hora de emendar
Translation
In the joining
Tie the rope right
In the joining
So the rope doesn't break
In the joining
But tie a knot of respect
I want the people satisfied
Playing at joining
Attention, everyone
This year we're going to play ring-around-the-rosy
Everyone joining
And we're going to join
In the joining
There's a girl who breaks vows
In the joining
Then can't fix it
In the joining
But a viola singer
Fixes the rhyme on the spot
And doesn't let the rhyme break
In the joining
I'm going to make a contraption
In the joining
From Caruá rope
In the joining
It's a beautiful job
Woman twisting her leg
Making the rope tighten
In the joining
The old folks were playing
In the joining
Then they started to fight
In the joining
Sadness created pity
Grandpa cheated Grandma
At the time of joining
