English Translation

É dedo, é mão, é junta, é braço, é cotovelo

It's finger, it's hand, it's joint, it's arm, it's elbow

Cara, cabeça, cabelo, chambari fora da pá

Face, head, hair, a chambari outside the shovel

E deu, e deu, e deu, e deu, e deu e dá

And gave, and gave, and gave, and gave, and gave and gives

Seu cabelo deu farinha, seu cabelo deu fubá

Your hair turned into flour, your hair turned into cornmeal

É dedo, é mão, é junta, é braço, é cotovelo

It's finger, it's hand, it's joint, it's arm, it's elbow

Cara, cabeça, cabelo, chambari fora da pá

Face, head, hair, a chambari outside the shovel


Oh! Maria leva eu pra lá

Oh! Maria, take me there

Mas oh! Maria leva eu pra lá

But oh! Maria, take me there

Eu num sô solteiro, num posso casá

I'm not single, I can't get married

Eu num sô solteiro, num posso casá

I'm not single, I can't get married


Tinha uma velha se chamava Catrupina

There was an old woman called Catrupina

Engoliu dois automóveis, ficou de fora a buzina

She swallowed two cars, the horn remained outside

Chamei o médico pra fazer a operação

I called the doctor to perform the operation

Partiu a barriga dela, tirou quatro caminhão

He split her belly, took out four trucks

Chamei o médico pra fazer a operação

I called the doctor to perform the operation

Partiu a barriga dela, tirou quatro caminhão

He split her belly, took out four trucks


Oh! Maria leva eu pra lá

Oh! Maria, take me there

Mas oh! Maria leva eu pra lá

But oh! Maria, take me there

Eu num sô solteiro, num posso casá

I'm not single, I can't get married

Eu num sô solteiro, num posso casá

I'm not single, I can't get married


Subiu um rato na perna da minha cumade

A rat climbed up my friend's leg

Veio o filho, veio o cumpade pra ver o que aconteceu

The son came, the buddy came to see what happened

Tiraram a roupa da cumade e sacudiu

They took off my friend's clothes and shook

Mas porém ninguém viu onde o bicho se escondeu

But yet no one saw where the creature hid

Tiraram a roupa da cumade e sacudiu

They took off my friend's clothes and shook

Mas porém ninguém viu onde o bicho se escondeu

But yet no one saw where the creature hid


Oh! Maria leva eu pra lá

Oh! Maria, take me there

Mas oh! Maria leva eu pra lá

But oh! Maria, take me there

Eu num sô solteiro, num posso casá

I'm not single, I can't get married

Eu num sô solteiro, num posso casá

I'm not single, I can't get married

Eu num sô solteiro, num posso casá

I'm not single, I can't get married
