English Translation

Dona Candinha tira essa cadeira

Mrs. Candinha, remove that chair

Que essa rancheira é mesmo pra dançar

Because this ranch dance is really for dancing

Pendura o lenço lá no candeeiro

Hang your handkerchief there on the lamp

Tira um cavaiero e vamos rancherar

Take a partner and let's ranch

Vamos zanzando pro salão de dentro

Let's wander to the inside hall

Pára-se um momento pra tomar quentão

Pause for a moment to have some hot drink

E o sanfoneiro campeão da zona

And the champion accordionist from the area

Pega na sanfona e faz a marcação

Takes the accordion and sets the rhythm


Olha só Dona Candinha

Look, Mrs. Candinha

Que sanfoneiro folgado

What an audacious accordionist

A sanfona está gemendo

The accordion is groaning

E ele está correndo o dedo no teclado

And he's running his fingers on the keyboard

Olha os companheiros dele

Look at his companions

São gente de qualidade

They are people of quality

Quando entram num pagode

When they enter a party

Fazem o que pode

They do what they can

Pra deixar saudade.

To leave a lasting memory
