Serpentina

The boy went to Teresinha
She's got a beau who knows how to dance
She has some girls in short skirts
Who are part of the coladera
Let's go and enjoy ourselves
At the viewpoint of Bela Vista

There's no time for us to get inspired
Because we can't catch those girls
They dance close together and speak in a low voice
Beware, they are Serpentinas
With their curly hair and little ribbons

Beware, they are Serpentinas
With their curly hair and little ribbons

The boy went to distract our spirits
I heard she knows how to dance
Those girls are showing off
Without vanity, without jokes
Let's go and have fun now that we can
It will all end when we die
