Paroara Lyrics Translation in English

Chegamos um bocado de gente

We arrived, a bunch of people

Da mesma seara

From the same field

O sol tava danado de quente

The sun was damn hot

Queimou nossa cara

Burned our faces

Comprei uma jaqueta de veludo

I bought a velvet jacket

E não tava cara

And it wasn't expensive

Eu quis saber a graça da vidente

I wanted to know the joke of the fortune teller

Era Theda Bara

It was Theda Bara

Olho a olho

Eye to eye

Cara a cara

Face to face

Corre-corre

Hustle and bustle

Bate-boca e bafafá

Argument and commotion

Pra ver o homem de brinco

To see the man with an earring

E a mulher barbada

And the bearded woman

Troquei o meu cavalo por cinco

I traded my horse for five

Burros de cangalha

Donkeys with saddlebags

Um cara apareceu falando gringo

A guy showed up speaking foreign

Mas não tinha cara

But had no face

Um outro diz que vinha do garimpo

Another said he came from the mine

Tinha nem sandália

Didn't even have sandals

- Tá por fora

- Out of touch

- Paroara

- Paroara

- Buginganga

- Gadget

- Pau-de-arara

- Hitchhiker

Catamos os bagulhos da gente

We pick up our stuff

Nossas maravalhas

Our odds and ends

Joguei um balde d'água num crente

I threw a bucket of water at a believer

Que encheu a cara

Who got drunk

Guardei minha jaqueta de veludo

I put away my velvet jacket

Tava uma fornalha

It was an oven

O gringo andava todo saliente

The foreigner walked all proud

Com a minha Theda Bara

With my Theda Bara

- Tá na hora

- It's time

- Paroara

- Paroara

- Vam'embora

- Let's go

- Pau-de-arara

- Hitchhiker

- Theda Bara

- Theda Bara

- Pau-de-arara

- Hitchhiker

- Sayonara
