Cavalo Manco Lyrics Translation in English
Ara KetuPortuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Menina bonita baiana
Beautiful Bahian girl
Me joga na cama
Throw me on the bed
Camarão me chama iá iá
Shrimp calls me iá iá
Pra dançar afoxé no mangue
To dance afoxé in the mangrove
Onde não tem sangue
Where there's no blood
Caranguejo vem devagar
Crab comes slowly
Comandando a dança
Leading the dance
Não cansa virado pro lado
Doesn't tire turned to the side
Coitado tem que se mancar
Poor thing has to get it together
O cavalo manca,
The horse limps
Não manca calçando tamanco
Doesn't limp wearing clogs
Pisado em vatapá
Stepped on in vatapá
Iá iá, ió ió, amor, Ara
Iá iá, ió ió, love, Ara
Vem cá dengar, me amar
Come here to hear, to love me
Nativo habitando o morro
Native inhabiting the hill
Segura as encostas
Holding the slopes
Quem casa quer coça coçar
Who marries wants to scratch
Mas que casa, casa contente
But what a house, happily married
Quem cala consente
Who is silent consents
Menina vamos serenar
Girl, let's calm down
