Num bailinho á portuguesa
In a Portuguese ballet
Com o harmónio, o zambuba, mais os pratos
With the harmonium, the zambuba, plus the dishes
Tem de se ter a certeza
You have to be sure
De ter atado os sapatos
To have tied the shoes
Se o mestre manda virar
If the master commands you to turn
Todo o rancho num só pé logo girou
The whole ranch on one foot soon spun
E sem dizer nada ao par
And without saying anything to the pair
Quando um vira, outro virou
When one turns, another turned
Vai de roda agora
It's going to spin now
Cada qual com o seu par
Each with his own pair
Ai que vai pela porta fora
Ai that goes out the door
Ai quem vier p'ra namorar
There who comes to date
Cada um c'oa sua
Each c'oa its own
Que ninguém me troque o passo
Let no one change my step
Ai que vai p'ro olho da rua
Ai that goes p'ro eye of the street
Quem falte aqui ao compasso
Who misses here to the compass
Há alegria e respeito
There's joy and respect
Nos bailinhos cá das nossas romarias
In the little dances here of our pilgrimages
Parte-se cara ao sujeito
It is dear to the subject
Que pensar em avarias
What to think of breakdowns
Ás vezes o mestre apita
Sometimes the master whistles
Para chamar a atenção cá dos rapazes
To get the boys' attention here
E há um tipo a quem grita
And there's a guy who yells
Ó chico... olha o que fazes
Oh chico... look what you do
