Full lyrics

Participei de uma festa lá em bodocongo

E dancei com filomena, filha de seu zé fogoió


Chegou maria fumaça, com o cabelo arrepiado

E josé da cara suja, que nunca tinha lavado

Chegou pedro bagunceiro, querendo falar inglês

É na tonga da mironga, tome tomba pra vocês


Participei de uma festa lá em bodocongo

E dancei com filomena, filha de seu zé fogoió


Lá gritou joão borraeiro, gritando daqui não saio

Se é pra me tirar daqui, ha de ter muito trabalho

Puxa o fole sanfoneiro, eu paguei foi pra dançar

Vou até o quebrar d barra, quero ver o sol raiar

Translation

I attended a party there in Bodocongo

And I danced with Filomena, daughter of Seu Zé Fogoió


Maria Fumaça arrived, with her hair standing on end

And José da Cara Suja, who had never washed

Pedro Bagunceiro arrived, wanting to speak English

It's in the tonga da mironga, take a tumble for you


I attended a party there in Bodocongo

And I danced with Filomena, daughter of Seu Zé Fogoió


There João Borraeiro shouted, shouting I'm not leaving here

If you want to get me out of here, there will be a lot of work

Pull the bellows accordion player, I paid to dance

I'm going until the break of dawn, I want to see the sun rise
