Tutu-marambá não venha mais cá
Tutu-marambá don't come here anymore
Que a mãe da criança te manda matar
That the child's mother tells you to kill
Tutu-marambá não venha mais cá
Tutu-marambá don't come here anymore
Que a mãe da criança te manda matar
That the child's mother tells you to kill
Ai, como essa moça é descuidada
Oh, how careless this girl is
Com a janela escancarada
With the window wide open
Quer dormir impunemente
Want to sleep with impunity
Ou será que a moça lá no alto
Or will the girl up there
Não escuta o sobressalto
Don't hear the shock
Do coração da gente
From our hearts
Ai, quanto descuido o dessa moça
Oh, how careless this girl is
Que papai 'tá lá na roça
That daddy is there in the country
E mamãe foi passear
And mom went for a walk
E todo marmanjo da cidade
And every grown man in town
Quer entrar
Want to enter
Nos versos da cantiga de ninar
In the verses of the nursery rhyme
Pra ser um Tutu-Marambá
To be a Tutu-Maramba
Ai, como essa moça é distraída
Oh, how distracted this girl is
Sabe lá se está vestida
Who knows if she's dressed?
Ou se dorme transparente
Or if you sleep transparently
Ela sabe muito bem que quando adormece
She knows very well that when she falls asleep
Está roubando o sono de outra gente
You're stealing other people's sleep
Ai, quanta maldade a dessa moça
Oh, how evil this girl is
E, que aqui ninguém nos ouça
And let no one here hear us
Ela sabe enfeitiçar
She knows how to bewitch
Pois todo malandro da cidade
Because every scoundrel in town
Quer entrar nos sonhos que ela gosta de sonhar
Want to enter the dreams she likes to dream
E ser um Tutu-Marambá
And be a Tutu-Maramba
Boi, boi, boi, boi da cara preta
Ox, ox, ox, black-faced ox
Pega essa menina que tem medo de careta
Take this girl who is afraid of faces
Boi, boi, boi, boi da cara preta
Ox, ox, ox, black-faced ox
Pega essa menina que tem medo de careta
Take this girl who is afraid of faces
