Paroles et traduction Luiz Marenco - Na Baixada do Manduca

Na Baixada do Manduca

Lá na baixada do manduca
Hay reboliço de china
Três guitarras orientales
E uma gaita corrientina
E o biriva rio grandense
Com toadas lisboinas

E dê-lhe mate pelos cantos
No compasso da chamarra
Entra juca e sai manduca
E dê-lhe cordeona e guitarra

E dê-lhe mate pelos cantos
No compasso da chamarra
Entra juca e sai manduca
E dê-lhe cordeona e guitarra

O chinaredo lá da estância
Se "aprepara" já faz dias
Segundo siá basilícia
Vai trazer várias famílias

Prá escutar o dom ortaça
E o gaiteiro malaquias
E o cantor da bossoroca
Que canta com galhardia

E dê-lhe mate pelos cantos
No compasso da chamarra
Entra juca e sai manduca
E dê-lhe cordeona e guitarra

E dê-lhe mate pelos cantos
No compasso da chamarra
Entra juca e sai manduca
E dê-lhe cordeona e guitarra

Jaguarão chico e vichadeiro
Se alvorotou a peonada
Do caseiro ao capataz
Todos de bota ensebada
E o careca zaragosa
Nem liga prás gineteada

E dê-lhe mate pelos cantos
No compasso da chamarra
Entra juca e sai manduca
E dê-lhe cordeona e guitarra

E dê-lhe mate pelos cantos
No compasso da chamarra
Entra juca e sai manduca
E dê-lhe cordeona e guitarra

A prendinha Ana Luiza
Filha do nosso patrão
Já encargo água de cheiro
Vinda de outros rincão
E um delantal colorado
Partido de sua opinião

E dê-lhe mate pelos cantos
No compasso da chamarra
Entra juca e sai manduca
E dê-lhe cordeona e guitarra

E dê-lhe mate pelos cantos
No compasso da chamarra
Entra juca e sai manduca
E dê-lhe cordeona e guitarra

Down in the Valley of Manduca

Down in the valley of Manduca
There's a hubbub of china
Three oriental guitars
And a Corrientes gaita
And the Rio Grandean biriva
With Lisbon toadas

And there's mate being drunk in the corners
To the rhythm of the chamarra
Juca comes in and Manduca goes out
And there's accordion and guitar playing

And there's mate being drunk in the corners
To the rhythm of the chamarra
Juca comes in and Manduca goes out
And there's accordion and guitar playing

The chinamen from the estancia
Have been preparing for days
According to Senhora Basilícia
They are going to bring several families

To listen to Dom Ortaça
And the bagpiper Malaquias
And the singer from Bossoroca
Who sings with great pride

And there's mate being drunk in the corners
To the rhythm of the chamarra
Juca comes in and Manduca goes out
And there's accordion and guitar playing

And there's mate being drunk in the corners
To the rhythm of the chamarra
Juca comes in and Manduca goes out
And there's accordion and guitar playing

Jaguarão Chico and Vichadeiro
Have stirred up the peonada
From the houseboy to the foreman
All with greased boots
And the bald Zaragosa
Doesn't even notice the horsebreaking

And there's mate being drunk in the corners
To the rhythm of the chamarra
Juca comes in and Manduca goes out
And there's accordion and guitar playing

And there's mate being drunk in the corners
To the rhythm of the chamarra
Juca comes in and Manduca goes out
And there's accordion and guitar playing

The young lady Ana Luiza
The daughter of our boss
Has already ordered scented water
Brought from other regions
And a red apron
Of her own choosing

And there's mate being drunk in the corners
To the rhythm of the chamarra
Juca comes in and Manduca goes out
And there's accordion and guitar playing

And there's mate being drunk in the corners
To the rhythm of the chamarra
Juca comes in and Manduca goes out
And there's accordion and guitar playing
