Chiou Chinela Lyrics Translation in English
Targino Gondim
Portuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Nós numa sala rebocada
We in a plastered room
Daquele jeitinho
In that little way
O salão tava apertado
The hall was tight
A gente bem juntinho
We quite close
Enquanto o fole roncava
While the accordion roared
Eu cantava pra ela
I sang to her
Só se ouve no salão
Only heard in the hall
O chiado da chinela
The clog's squeak
Chiou, chiou, chiôhô!
Squeak, squeak, squeak!
Só se ouve no salão
Only heard in the hall
O chiado da chinela
The clog's squeak
Daqui a pouco amanhece
Soon it dawns
E o fungado
And the sniffling
Continua no salão
Continues in the hall
O fole tá gemendo
The accordion is moaning
O triângulo e o zabumba,
The triangle and the bass drum,
Tá ficando claro
It's getting clear
Apague o lampião
Turn off the lantern
Chiou, chiou, chiôhô!
Squeak, squeak, squeak!
Tá ficando claro
It's getting clear
Apague o lampião
Turn off the lantern
