Baile de Louco Lyrics Translation in English

Mas bah que baile na bailanta do Tiburcio.

But wow, what a dance at Tiburcio's dance hall.

Bando de louco,

Bunch of crazy people,

Tocava na polvorosa.

They played up a storm.

Abriu a noite com louco por chamamé.

Opened the night with craziness for chamamé.

E o baita macho tirou a morena rosa.

And the big tough guy took the brunette rose.

Se acorreou o cuiudo do Alegrete

The wild one from Alegrete got excited

Com a china Rita,

With China Rita,

Lá no baile das cabritas

There at the goat's dance hall

O pala véio no petiço mitaí

The old man in the worn-out hat

Veio Tche-loco com a formosa

Tche-loco came with the beautiful

Mercedita

Mercedita

O ar ficou com cheiro de galpão.

The air smelled like a barn.

Um tal de Pedro se grudou na Mariana

A guy named Pedro stuck to Mariana

Negro da gaita sapecou a comparsita

The accordion player played the comparsita

Pro Aurelino dançar com a Casteliana

For Aurelino to dance with Casteliana

E vamos lá pra fincar facão no toco

And let's go there to plant the knife in the stump

Que baile pra ser bagual

For a dance to be tough

Tem que ser baile de louco

It has to be a crazy dance

E vamos lá pra fincar facão no toco

And let's go there to plant the knife in the stump

Que baile pra ser bagual

For a dance to be tough

Tem que ser baile de louco.

It has to be a crazy dance.
