Lyrics and translation Antonio Carlos & Jocafi - Balaio




Balaio
Balaio
Ô preta tá, preta vá, preta
Oh, black one, you’re here, black one, you’re going, black one, you’re here
Pega, vira, mexe, bota vatapá
Take it, turn it, move it, put some vatapá in it
Vatapá, vatapá
Vatapá, vatapá
Ô preta tá, preta vá, preta
Oh, black one, you’re here, black one, you’re going, black one, you’re here
Pega, vira, mexe, bota vatapá
Take it, turn it, move it, put some vatapá in it
Vatapá, vatapá
Vatapá, vatapá
Ela mercava na Feira do Curtume
She used to shop at the Curtume Fair
Moqueca de arraia com muita pimenta, ai, de cheiro
Stingray moqueca with a lot of pepper, oh, so fragrant
Se eu fosse o galo daquele terreiro
If I were the rooster of that yard
Ninguém mais provaria daquele tempero
No one else would taste that seasoning
Ô preta tá, preta vá, preta
Oh, black one, you’re here, black one, you’re going, black one, you’re here
Pega, vira, mexe, bota vatapá
Take it, turn it, move it, put some vatapá in it
Vatapá, vatapá
Vatapá, vatapá
Ô preta tá, preta vá, preta
Oh, black one, you’re here, black one, you’re going, black one, you’re here
Pega, vira, mexe, bota vatapá
Take it, turn it, move it, put some vatapá in it
Vatapá, vatapá
Vatapá, vatapá
Quando mexia o balaio, ai balaio, era um queta comoda
When she was shaking the balaio, oh, balaio, it was a queta comoda
Era um Deus nos acuda, um sarseiro
It was a Deus nos acuda, a sarseiro
Se eu fosse o galo daquele terreiro
If I were the rooster of that yard
Ninguém mais provaria daquele tempero
No one else would taste that seasoning
Ô preta tá, preta vá, preta
Oh, black one, you’re here, black one, you’re going, black one, you’re here
Pega, vira, mexe, bota vatapá
Take it, turn it, move it, put some vatapá in it
Vatapá, vatapá
Vatapá, vatapá
Ô preta tá, preta vá, preta
Oh, black one, you’re here, black one, you’re going, black one, you’re here
Pega, vira, mexe, bota vatapá
Take it, turn it, move it, put some vatapá in it
Vatapá, vatapá
Vatapá, vatapá
Ô preta tá, preta
Oh, black one, you’re here, black one, you’re going
