Funaré Lyrics Translation in English

Eu tava só, que dava dó

I was alone, it was pitiful

Fui convidado p´rum pé de serra

I was invited to a countryside party

E me disseram que anegada toda berra

And they told me that everyone shouts

Quando escuta o pinicado do xaxado e do baião

When they hear the tapping of xaxado and baião

Aí vi sebastiana cheia dajgjçana, num beja-beja

Then I saw Sebastiana, full of joy, in a sweet kiss

Num rela-rela, numa ''cf|||jpe etc. e coisa e tal

In a playful way, in a ''cf|||jpe, etc. and so on

Também vi mariazinha, pequenininha, na gandaieira

I also saw Mariasinha, so small, dancing

Aí bateu a zonzeira e o funaré pegou geral

Then the craziness hit, and the funaré took over

Oh! sebastiana, cadê a grana que eu te dei?

Oh, Sebastiana, where's the money I gave you?

Pra tu comprar um caçuá de rapadura

For you to buy a basket of rapadura

Daquelas que a dentadura, quase se parte no "mêi"

Those that almost break the dentures in the middle

Oh! mariazinha e a farinha que eu comprei? :

Oh, Mariasinha, and the flour I bought?

"pra nós comer" com a rapadura da tiana

"for us to eat" with Tiana's rapadura

Rapadura sai da cana, donde tu saiu não sei

Rapadura comes from sugarcane, I don't know where you came from

Oh! maria, oh! maria, maria,

Oh, Maria, oh, Maria, Maria

Mas pra que diabo eu fui casar

But why on earth did I get married

Com a loucura de vocês

To your madness
