Translation of the song lyrics Mané João - Erasmo Carlos

Mané João (original)

Lá na gafieira
De Mané João
Toda brincadeira
Acabou no chão
Tinha inimigo no meio do salão
Zé da Capoeira fazendo exibição
Tinha cabelo grande mas não tinha molho
Mané ficou de olho
Escondeu Margarida na cortina
E gritou: «Ninguém transa com a menina!»
E só terminou a brincadeira
Com o sangue escorrendo na ladeira
E era muito sangue pra pouca ladeira
Lá na gafieira

Mané João (translation)

There in the gafieira
From Mané João
every joke
Ended up on the floor
There was an enemy in the middle of the hall
Zé da Capoeira showing off
Had big hair but no sauce
Mané kept an eye out
Hid Daisy in the curtain
And she yelled, "Nobody fucks the girl!"
And the joke just ended
With blood running down the hill
And it was a lot of blood for little slope
There in the gafieira
