Fui a um baile no elite, atendendo a um convite
I went to a ball in the elite, answering an invitation
Do manoel garçom
From manoel waiter
Que coisa bacana, já do campo de santana
What a nice thing, already from the field of santana
Ouvir o velho e bom som: trombone, sax e pistom
Listen to the old and good sound: trombone, sax and pistom
O traje era esporte que o calor estava forte
The costume was sport that the heat was strong
Mas eu fui de jaquetão, para causar boa impressão
But I went jackatão, to make a good impression
Naquele tempo era o requinte o linho s-120
At that time was the refinement the linen s-120
E eu não gostava de blusão
And I didn't like jackets
Passei pela portaria, subi a velha escadaria
I went through the gatehouse, climbed the old staircase
E penetrei no salão
And I penetrated the hall
Quando dei de cara com a orquestra tabajara
When I came up to the tabajara orchestra
E o popular jamelão, cantando só samba-canção
And the popular jamelão, singing only samba-canção
Norato e norega, macaxeira e zé bodega
Norato e norega, macaxeira and zé bodega
Nas palhetas e metais
On vanes and metals
No clarinete o severino solava um choro tão divino
In the clarinet the severino was so divine a cry
Desses que já não tem mais
Of those who no longer have
Refeito dessa surpresa, me aboletei na mesa
Remade of this surprise, I got on the table
Que eu tinha já reservado
That I had already booked
Manoel, que é dos nossos, trouxe um pires de tremoços
Manoel, who is one of ours, brought a saucer of hupies
Uma cerveja e um traçado
A beer and tracing
Tomei minha brahma, levantei, tirei a dama
I took my brahma, got up, took the lady
E iniciei meu bailado
And I started my ballet
Até trajano e mário jorge que são caras que não fogem
Even trajan and mario jorge who are guys who do not run away
Foram embora humilhados
They left humiliated
Quando o astro-rei já raiava e a tabajara caprichava
When the astro-king was already streaking and the tabajara caprichava
Seus acordes finais
Your final chords
Toquei a pequena, feito artista de cinema
I played the little, made film artist
Em cenas sentimentais
In sentimental scenes
Num quarto sem forro, perto do pronto-socorro
In a room without lining, near the emergency room
Uma sirene me acordou
A siren woke me up
Me levantei, lavei o rosto, quase morro de desgosto
I got up, washed my face, almost died of grief
Pois foi um sonho e se acabou
For it was a dream and it was over
(seu nélson motta deu a nota que hoje o som é rock and roll
(his nélson motta gave the note that today the sound is rock and roll
A tabajara é muito cara
Tabajara is very expensive
E o velho tempo já passou!)
And the old time has passed!)
