Translation of the song lyrics Bambu Bambu - Original Mono - Carmen Miranda

Bambu Bambu - Original Mono (original)

E olha o bambo de bambu, bambu
E olha o bambo de bambu, bambu-le-lê (est.)
E olha o bambo de bambu, bambu-la-lá
Eu quero ver dizer 3 vezes bambu-lê, bambu-la-lá
(1) fui a um banquete na casa do zé pequeno
A mesa tava no sereno
P’rá todo mundo cabê
Tinha de toda qualidade de talher
Tinha mais home que muié
Mas só não tinha o que comer (bambu)
(2) e no tal banquete, dito cujo, referido
Mulher que não tinha marido
Não passou aperto não
Pois as danada para não morrer de fome
Cada qual comeu seu home
Não tiveram indigestão (bambu)
(3) conheço um home que tem 17 filho
Que pôs tudo no desvio
P’rá polícia empregá
A mulher dele de beleza ainda promete
Dar à luz a 17
P’rá depois então parar (bambu)

(translation)

And look at the bamboo bamboo, bamboo
And look at the bamboo bamboo, bamboo-le-lê (est.)
And look at the bamboo bamboo, bamboo-la-lá
I want to see say 3 times bamboo-le, bamboo-la-la
(1) I went to a banquet at zé Pequeno's house
The table was serene
For everyone to fit
It had all the quality of cutlery
There were more men than women
But I just didn't have anything to eat (bamboo)
(2) and at such a banquet, said whose, referred to
woman who had no husband
It didn't get tight
Well, damned not to die of hunger
Each ate his man
Did not have indigestion (bamboo)
(3) I know a home who has 17 children
That put everything on the detour
For the police to employ
His beauty wife still promises
Giving birth to 17
Stop then stop (bamboo)
