Translation of the song lyrics Mulata Do Balaio - Clara Nunes

Mulata Do Balaio (original)

Ê banana ouro, ê banana prata
Bamboleando o balaio, lá vai a mulata
Balançando por onde passa
A prata dos balagãndas
Deixando um cheirinho tão bom de banana maçã
Ê banana ouro, ê banana prata… bis
Quando ele passa na praça
Com seu samburá, pelo chão
Deixa um chamego que é pra nego escorregar
E na ginga quando se endominga pra ir passear
Deixa branco e nego zonzo
Gemendo nos gons e morrendo de amar
Ê banana ouro, ê banana prata… bis
Ela de bata rendada sobre o camisu
Leva dois fios de contas
Um de ouro e o outro azul
E o balaio vai bamboleando pra lá e pra cá
Pondo branco e nego zonzo
Gemendo nos gons e morrendo de amar
Ê banana ouro, ê banana prata… bis

(translation)

It's golden banana, it's silver banana
Wobbling the balaio, there goes the mulata
Swinging wherever you go
The silver of the balagandas
Leaving such a good smell of apple banana
It's golden banana, it's silver banana... bis
When he passes by the square
With your samburá, on the floor
Leave a cuddle that is for Nego slipping
And in the ginga when dressing to go for a walk
Leave it white and I deny dizzy
Moaning in the gons and dying of loving
It's golden banana, it's silver banana... bis
She wears a lace gown over her shirt
Takes two strands of beads
One of gold and the other blue
And the balaio is waddling back and forth
I put on white and I deny dizzy
Moaning in the gons and dying of loving
It's golden banana, it's silver banana... bis
