Sambas de Roda e Partido-Alto

If the lady of the house allows, allows, allows
If the lady of the house allows, allows, allows

I arrived for coffee
And I'll stay for lunch
If the lady of the house allows, allows, allows
If the lady of the house allows, allows, allows

Since I skipped lunch
I'll stay for dinner
If the lady of the house allows, allows, allows
If the lady of the house allows, allows, allows

And if there's a soft bed
I'll stay around here
If the lady of the house allows, allows, allows
If the lady of the house allows, allows, allows

But pretty girl with a funny face
Your hair is good
Your hair is too good
Your hair is good

Your hair is wavy
Your hair is good
Your hair is straightened
Your hair is good

But that hair standing up
Your hair is good
Your hair is too good
Your hair is good

If that woman were mine
I'd take her out of the samba right away
I'd give her a beating
That she'd scream, enough!

Enough!
Oh, my love
I'm leaving the samba circle
I'm leaving

Mrs. Maria of the cabbages
What happened, what's up?

We're missing a drink
For everyone to have

Mrs. Maria of the cabbages
What happened, what's up?

Left school early
To be able to date me

Beautiful chayote
At Anabela's house
They gave me for dessert
Potato with ribs

Oh, woman from Bento Ribeiro
Where's the money you promised me?
I'd die of hunger
If I had to wait for your money

If the lady of the house allows, allows, allows
If the lady of the house allows, allows, allows
