Paroles et traduction Erasmo Carlos - Mane Joao

Mane Joao

Lá na gafieira
De Mané João
Toda brincadeira
Acabou no chão
Tinha inimigo
Dentro do salão
Zé da Capoeira fazendo exibição

Tinha cabelo grande mas não tinha molho
Mané ficou de olho
Tinha cabelo grande mas não tinha molho
Mané ficou de olho

Escondeu Margarida na cortina
E gritou: "Ninguém transa com a menina"
E só terminou a brincadeira
Com o sangue escorrendo na ladeira

E era muito sangue pra pouca ladeira
Lá na gafieira
E era muito sangue pra pouca ladeira
Lá na gafieira

Lá na gafieira
De Mané João
Toda brincadeira
Acabou no chão
Tinha inimigo
Dentro do salão
Zé da Capoeira fazendo exibição

Tinha cabelo grande mas não tinha molho
Mané ficou de olho
Tinha cabelo grande mas não tinha molho
Mané ficou de olho

Escondeu Margarida na cortina
E gritou: "Ninguém transa com a menina"
E só terminou a brincadeira
Com o sangue escorrendo na ladeira

E era muito sangue pra pouca ladeira
Lá na gafieira
E era muito sangue pra pouca ladeira
Lá na gafieira

Lá na gafieira
Lá na gafieira
Lá na gafieira

Mane Joao

In the dance hall
Of Mané João
Every game
Ended up on the floor
There were enemies
Inside the hall
Zé da Capoeira giving a performance

Had long hair but no sauce
Mané took care of that
Had long hair but no sauce
Mané took care of that

Hid Margarida in the curtain
And shouted: "Nobody gets with my girl"
And only ended the game
When the blood was running down the hill

And it was too much blood for such a small hill
In the dance hall
And it was too much blood for such a small hill
In the dance hall

In the dance hall
Of Mané João
Every game
Ended up on the floor
There were enemies
Inside the hall
Zé da Capoeira giving a performance

Had long hair but no sauce
Mané took care of that
Had long hair but no sauce
Mané took care of that

Hid Margarida in the curtain
And shouted: "Nobody gets with my girl"
And only ended the game
When the blood was running down the hill

And it was too much blood for such a small hill
In the dance hall
And it was too much blood for such a small hill
In the dance hall

In the dance hall
In the dance hall
In the dance hall
