Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mineira by João Nogueira from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Abre o pano do passado
Opens the cloth of the past
Tira a preta do cerrado
Take the black out of the cerrado
Pôe rei congo no congá
Put congo king on the gá
Anda canta um samba verdadeiro
Come on sings a real samba
Faz o que mandou o mineiro
Do what the miner sent
Samba que samba no bole que bole
Samba samba in bole bole
Oi morena do balaio mole se embala do som dos tantãs
Hi soft balaio brunette packs from the sound of tantãs
Quebra no balacochê do cavaco e rebola no balacubaco
Breaks in chip balacochê and roll in balacubaco
Se embola dos balagandãs
If it's a ball of the balagandãs
Mexe no meio que eu sambo do lado vem naquele bamboleado
Stirin the middle i sambo on the side comes in that bamboleado
Que eu também sou bam, bam, bam
That I'm also bam, bam, bam
Vai cai no samba cai e o samba vai até de manhã
Goes falls in samba falls and the samba goes until morning
Vai cai no samba cai e o samba vai até de manhã
Goes falls in samba falls and the samba goes until morning
Ô saravá menina mineira que é filha de ogum com iansã
Ô saravá menina mineira who is daughter of ogum with iansã
