Canta, Ríe, Bebe

I bought a zambomba, -bomb
A tambourine and a drum, -bor
And to complete the orchestra
The stove pots

You take the covers, -deras
That we must not let sleep, -mir
Neither the one above nor the one below
Not even the one who has guard here

Sing, laugh and drink, today is Christmas Eve
That in these moments there is no need to feel sorry
Hit the zambomba, hit the pestle
And give your mother-in-law half a walnut

Tonight everyone, world
He is much happier, -tento
after good dinner
Doesn't stop for a moment

See you early tomorrow, -ano
I don't have to go to bed, -tar
Well tonight has given me
For dancing and for singing

Sing, laugh and drink, today is Christmas Eve
That in these moments, there is no need to feel sorry
Hit the zambomba, hit the violin
Hit your head and sing happily

To my porter's boy, -tera
Today they brought him on a stretcher, -illa
For asking for the bonus
To the corner shopkeeper

To the corner shopkeeper, -quina
That has had the attention, -tion
To shoot him in the head
A piece of nougat

Sing, laugh, drink, today is Christmas Eve
That in these moments there is no need to feel sorry
Hit the zambomba, hit the frying pan
And tell the shopkeeper to have a good time
