Magalenha [English translation]

Come Magalenha rocket,

Bring the firewood to the oven,

Come set up the framework.

Today is a day of Sun

The simpleton's joy is to enjoy the summer.

Come Magalenha rocket

Bring the sign to the oven . . .

Te te te heart.

Today is a day of Sun,

The sweetheart's joy, my summer duty.

Te te te te te te

Te te te te te te

Dancing Calango,

In the Calango of the little black woman,

I am singing this little style so that the lady remembers

Of that time when she lived there in that shack

With a daughter in her belly and another child to raise.
