Pus de pé a velha tuna
I put up the old tuna
E fui cantar os meus dias
And I went to sing my days
Juntei os amigos da rua
I joined the friends of the street
E fiz versões das melodias
And I did versions of the melodies
Andámos a passar rifas
We've been passing raffles
Para comprar instrumentos
To buy instruments
Demos um terço de entrada
We gave a third of input
E o resto a pagamentos
And the rest to payments
A pagamentos
Payments
Quinta-feira era o ensaio
Thursday was the rehearsal
E ao domingo actuação
And on Sunday performance
Mas depois ganhámos fama
But then we gained fame
E fomos em digressão
And we went on tour
Lembro o dia de estreia
I remember the day of the premiere
Num baile de caridade
At a charity ball
Muita gente, casa cheia
Lots of people, full house
Foi a hora da verdade
It was the time of truth
Quando subimos ao palco
When we went on stage
Cada um fez uma figa
Each made a fig
Uns com tremura nas pernas
Ones with tremily in the legs
Outros com dores de barriga
Others with tummy aches
Tocámos o mais que pudemos
We played as much as we could
A esticar o reportório
Stretching the repertoire
E às tantas, até pusemos
And at so many, we even put
A dançar o auditório
Dancing in the auditorium
