Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Alo Alo, Tai Carmem Miranda by Elis Regina from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Uma pequena notável
A remarkable little
Cantou muitos sambas
Sang many sambas
É motivo de carnaval
It's a carnival motif
Pandeiro, camisa listrada
Pandeiro, striped shirt
Tornou a baiana internacional
Made bahian international
Seu nome corria chão
His name ran down
Na boca e toda gente
In the mouth and everyone
Que grilo é esse?
What's that cricket?
Vou embarcar nessa onda
I'm going to embark on this wave
É o império serrano que canta
It is the Serrano empire that sings
Dando uma de carmem miranda
Giving a carmem miranda
Que grilo é esse?
What's that cricket?
Vou embarcar nessa onda
I'm going to embark on this wave
É o império serrano que canta
It is the Serrano empire that sings
Dando uma de carmem miranda
Giving a carmem miranda
Cai, cai, cai cai!
Fall, fall, fall!
Quem mandou escorregar?
Who told you to slip?
Cai, cai, cai cai
Fall, fall, fall
Eu não vou te leventar!
I'm not going to tell you!
Cai, cai, cai cai!
Fall, fall, fall!
Quem mandou escorregar?
Who told you to slip?
Cai, cai, cai cai
Fall, fall, fall
É melhor se levantar!
You'd better get up!
