Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Nunca mais vou esquecer

I will never forget

Dos "rastapés" lá de fora

About the "arrasta-pés" from outside

Começa de tardezinha

It starts in the late afternoon

Pra terminar, não tem hora

To finish, there's no set time

O salão era dos ranchos

The hall belonged to the ranches

Cheio de teia de aranha

Full of spiderwebs

E parede pau-a-pique

And mud-and-stick walls

Nos cafundós da campanha

In the backcountry of the countryside


O fandango era de gaita

The fandango was with accordion

De violão e pandeiro

Guitar and tambourine

Nunca falta um dançador

There's always a dancer

Que pague um trago pro gaiteiro

Who buys a drink for the accordionist

Na quincha do rancho aceso

In the lit corner of the ranch

Pendurado, o candeeiro

Hanging, the lantern

E a poeira do chão batido

And the dust from the beaten floor

Vai retratando o entreveiro

Reflects the commotion


Arrasta as botas na sala

Drag your boots in the hall

Vem dançar comigo, morena

Come dance with me, brunette

No arrasta-pé lá de fora

In the "arrasta-pé" outside

A noite fica pequena

The night becomes small
