Full lyrics
Eu ontem fui a feira
Comprar umas bananas boas
Resolvi comprar algumas
Pra levar para a patroa
Como tem gente
Que adora uma encrenca
Tinha um monte de banana
E só queria a minha penca.
Só queria a minha penca.
Só queria a minha penca.
Tinha um monte de banana
E só queria a minha penca.
No vai, não-vai
Fomos pra delegacia
Assustado o delegado
Perguntou o que havia
Na confusão
É que a conversa aumenta
Todo mundo lá na feira
Só queria a minha penca.
Só queria a minha penca.
Só queria a minha penca.
Todo mundo lá na feira
Só queria a minha penca.
Translation
I went to the market yesterday
To buy some good bananas
I decided to buy a few
To take to my wife
As there are people
Who love trouble
There was a pile of bananas
And they only wanted my bunch.
They only wanted my bunch.
They only wanted my bunch.
There was a pile of bananas
And they only wanted my bunch.
In a back-and-forth
We went to the police station
The frightened delegate
Asked what was happening
In the confusion
The story just grows
Everyone there at the market
Only wanted my bunch.
They only wanted my bunch.
They only wanted my bunch.
Everyone there at the market
Only wanted my bunch.
