English Translation

É lá de Ramos a tal morena

From Ramos comes that brunette

Que fez Zé Zuza zuretá

Who made Zé Zuza crazy

Zé Zuza era filho de Maria

Zé Zuza was Maria's son

E debochava dos orixás

And mocked the orixás

Mas os exus

But the exus

Diante da tentação

Facing temptation

Sacava do rosário

Took out the rosary

E arrepiava em trote de avestruz

And galloped in the trot of an ostrich


Mas foi em Ramos que a tal morena

But it was in Ramos that the brunette

Fez o Zé Zuza zuretá

Made Zé Zuza crazy

A moça era bamba dos Cacique

The girl was skilled with the Cacique

Iniciada em Iemanjá

Initiated in Yemanjá


Má leme, Yaô!

Má leme, Yaô!

Mexia um balaio grande

She stirred a large basket

Muito mais macio

Way softer

Que o boto cor-de-rosa do Cousteau

Than Cousteau's pink dolphin


Vejam só

Look at that

O Zé Zuza cismou de ser pesquisador

Zé Zuza decided to be a researcher

E se mandou de gravador

And took off with a recorder

Pro terreiro onde se desenvolvia aí a Yaô

To the terreiro where Yaô was developing


Oi lareiê

Oi lareiê

Deu umbigada na moça

He bumped into the girl

Bebeu

Drank

Acendeu pito, fungou

Lit a cigarette, sniffed

Zoiando Yaô o Zé zuza zuretô

Looking at Yaô, Zé Zuza went crazy

Yô, yô, yô, yô, yô, yô, yô, yô, yô!

Yô, yô, yô, yô, yô, yô, yô, yô, yô!
