Bailinho à portuguesa [English translation]
Bailinho à portuguesa [English translation]
In a Portuguese bailinho
With the harmonium, the drum, the cymbals as well
You have to be sure, to shoes laced up
If the master directs a turn
All the group hop on one leg then turn
And without saying anything altogether
When on turns, the others turn.
Wheeling now
Each with his partner
Woe to those who go out the door
Woe to those who come to date
Each with his own
That nobody changes a step
Woe to those who look from the street
Who miss the beat here.
There is joy and respect
In this bailinho in our pilgrimages
Each breaks to face the other
Thinking of breaking away
Sometimes the master whistles
To draw the attention of the boys here
And there's a guy who yells:
Chico… Watch what your doing
Wheeling now
Each with his partner
Woe to those who go out the door
Woe to those who come to date
Each with his own
That nobody changes a step
Woe to those who look from the street
Who miss the beat here.
