Boi Bumbá

Be still, manganga
Move away, boy, disgusting
Oh boy
Oh boy

Oh boy, oh boy
It's a mangangá ox
Who doesn't have chuculatêra
Doesn't drink coffee or tea
Doesn't drink coffee or tea
Doesn't drink coffee or tea

Oh boy, oh boy
It's a bull from Ceará
Muié holds the boy
That I'm going to dance now
That I'm going to dance now
That I'm going to dance now

Oh boy, oh boy
It's a bull from Piauí
Who doesn't dance this ox
You can't get out of here
You can't get out of here
You can't get out of here

Oh boy, oh boy
It's a Macapá ox
Who is dancing this ox
He is the mayor of the place
He is the mayor of the place
He's the mayor of the place

Shall we share the ox, people?
Let's go!

Where does the belly go?
Go to Miguel Pereira
And the butt broom?
Go to Zé Nabo
Whose spade bone is it?
By Joãozinho da Fornemat
And the flesh on the back of his neck?
It's from Seu Manduca
Whose ass is it?
From Seu Joaquim carpenter
And the bone pliers?
By Maria Badulate
Who do I give the tripe to?
Give it to Sabina
Who do I send this bofe to?
For Doctor Orlofe
And the fillet cover?
Send it to Zezé
Who am I going to send the foot to?
For Mário Timboré
Who do I give filet miõn to?
For Doctor Calmon
And the sweat bone?
Give it to Doctor Borjan
He is neither beautiful nor a doctor
But he's a good worker
But he's an old man, yes, sir
It's an old man, yes, sir
It's good to work
Grind your sweat until you sweat

Oh boy, oh boy
It's a mangangá bull
