O Bobalhão Lyrics Translation in English

Os brasileiros já nasceram na folia

Brazilians are born into revelry

Dão penas, bolas e farreiam noite e dia

They give troubles, balls, and celebrate day and night

No Carnaval vendem tudo quanto tem

During Carnival, they sell everything they have

Para gozarem esta festa sem igual

To enjoy this unparalleled celebration

Sai, sai, sai bobalhão

Go away, go away, you fool

Sai, sai, sai charlatão

Go away, go away, you charlatan

O Carnaval jamais se acabará

Carnival will never end

Com esta boba e tola opinião

With this foolish and silly opinion

Tu procuraste foi sarna pra te coçar

You sought out troubles to scratch yourself

E muitas pragas sem que possas te livrar

And many curses that you cannot escape

Se te apanham, o povo do Carnaval,

If they catch you, the Carnival people

Fazem de ti um enterro infernal

Will make an infernal burial out of you
