English Translation

Eu vi bicho roncando

I saw a creature snoring

Mariá

Mariá

Por trás do mangará

Behind the mangrove

Mariá

Mariá

Pelo jeito do ronco Mariá

From the sound of the snore, Mariá

Vi que era mangangá

I realized it was a mangangá

Mariá

Mariá


Eu vi bicho roncando

I saw a creature snoring

Mariá

Mariá

Por trás do mangará

Behind the mangrove

Mariá

Mariá

Pelo jeito do ronco Mariá

From the sound of the snore, Mariá

Vi que era mangangá

I realized it was a mangangá


Ascenço Corgo que era cabra destemido

Ascenço Corgo, a fearless fellow

Matou 16 pintada em Paraíba e Ceará

He killed 16 wildcats in Paraíba and Ceará

Na furna entrava de espingarda e candeeiro

He entered caves with a shotgun and lantern

E atirava no terreiro dos óio pra num errar

And shot in the yard, aiming not to miss


Eu vi bicho roncando

I saw a creature snoring

Mariá

Mariá

Por trás do mangará

Behind the mangrove

Mariá

Mariá

Pelo jeito do ronco Mariá

From the sound of the snore, Mariá

Vi que era mangangá

I realized it was a mangangá


Eu vi bicho roncando

I saw a creature snoring

Mariá

Mariá

Por trás do mangará

Behind the mangrove

Mariá

Mariá

Pelo jeito do ronco Mariá

From the sound of the snore, Mariá

Vi que era mangangá

I realized it was a mangangá


Na minha terra tem menino barrigudo

In my land, there's a chubby boy

Lobisomem cabeludo, tem gato maracajá

Hairy werewolf, maracajá cat

Tem redemoinho que dá volta na poeira

There's a whirlwind that spins in the dust

Inácio da catingueira que dá volta no ganzá

Inácio from Catingueira, spinning the ganzá


Mariá

Mariá

Eu vi bicho roncando

I saw a creature snoring

Mariá

Mariá

Por trás do mangará

Behind the mangrove

Mariá

Mariá

Pelo jeito do ronco Mariá

From the sound of the snore, Mariá

Vi que era mangangá

I realized it was a mangangá


Eu vi bicho roncando

I saw a creature snoring

Mariá

Mariá

Por trás do mangará

Behind the mangrove

Mariá

Mariá

Pelo jeito do ronco Mariá

From the sound of the snore, Mariá

Vi que era mangangá

I realized it was a mangangá


Tudo que a gente precisa mesmo comprá

Everything we really need to buy

É calça, camisa e cueca, feijão, farinha e jabá

Is pants, shirt, and underwear, beans, flour, and salted meat

Mas uma "fia" que se cria com cuidado

But a well-raised daughter

Vem qualquer cabra safado pede a mão a gente dá

Any sly fellow comes asking for her hand, and we give it


Eu vi bicho roncando

I saw a creature snoring

Mariá

Mariá

Por trás do mangará

Behind the mangrove

Mariá

Mariá

Pelo jeito do ronco Mariá

From the sound of the snore, Mariá

Vi que era mangangá

I realized it was a mangangá


Eu vi bicho roncando

I saw a creature snoring

Mariá

Mariá

Por trás do mangará

Behind the mangrove

Mariá

Mariá

Pelo jeito do ronco Mariá

From the sound of the snore, Mariá

Vi que era mangangá

I realized it was a mangangá
