Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Tire essa cadeira

Take that chair

Que essa rancheira

Because this rancheira

É mesmo pra dançar

Is really for dancing

Pendure o lenço lá no candieiro

Hang the handkerchief on the lamp

Tire o cavalheiro

Take off the gentleman

E vamos rancheirar

And let's dance the rancheira

Vamos dançando pro salão adentro

Let's dance into the hall

Para, se, um momento, tomar um quentão

Stop, if, for a moment, to have a hot drink

E o sanfoneiro campeão da zona

And the champion accordion player from the region

Pega na sanfona e faz marcação

Takes the accordion and sets the pace

Olha só Dona Candinha

Look at Mrs. Candinha

Que sanfoneiro folgado

What a cheeky accordion player

A sanfona está gemendo e ele está

The accordion is moaning, and he is

Correndo o dedo no teclado

Running his fingers on the keyboard

Olha os companheiros dele

Look at his companions

São gente de qualidade

They are people of quality

Quando entram no pagode

When they enter the party

Fazem o que podem

They do what they can

Pra deixar saudade

To leave a longing
