Translation of the song Boca de Siri artist Zélia Duncan
Boca de Siri
Don't Say A Thing
Eu saí de sarongue
I got out in a sarong
Mas que calor, mas que calor, mas que calor
It was so hot, it was so hot, it was so hot
Cantei no Bonde de São Januário1, Alá
I sung in the São Januário tram1, Alá
Alá-la-ô, alá-la-ô
Alá-la-ô, alá-la-ô
Até dancei de índio, auê, auê, auê, auê, auê, auê
I even got dressed as an indigenous person, auê, auê, auê, auê, auê, auê
Quem encontrar o meu moreno por aí
Those that see my man around
Faça-me o obséquio, boca de siri
Please do me a favor, don't say a thing
Quem encontrar o meu moreno por aí
Those that see my man around
Faça-me o obséquio, boca de siri
Please do me a favor, don't say a thing
Quase que morri de insolação
The insolation almost killed me
Jogaram pó de mico
Someone threw itching powder on the crowd
Mas não fiquei jururu
But it didn't upset me
Continuei me exibindo
I kept on showing off
Me desmilinguindo no passo do canguru
Getting more and more untidy as the block went on
O trem atrasou quando eu fui pra Meriti
The train got late when I was on my way to Meriti
Faz boca de siri
Don't say a thing
Eu saí de sarongue
I got out in a sarong
Mas que calor, mas que calor, mas que calor
It was so hot, it was so hot, it was so hot
Cantei no Bonde de São Januário, Alá
I sung in the São Januário tram1, Alá
Alá-la-ô, alá-la-ô
Alá-la-ô, alá-la-ô
Até dancei de índio, auê, auê, auê, auê, auê, auê
I even got dressed as an indigenous person, auê, auê, auê, auê, auê, auê
Quem encontrar o meu moreno por aí
Those that see my man around
Faça-me o obséquio, boca de siri
Please do me a favor, don't say a thing
Quem encontrar o meu moreno por aí
Those that see my man around
Faça-me o obséquio, boca de siri
Please do me a favor, don't say a thing
Quase que morri de insolação
The insolation almost killed me
Jogaram pó de mico
Someone threw itching powder on the crowd
Mas não fiquei jururu
But it didn't upset me
Continuei me exibindo
I kept on showing off
Me desmilinguindo no passo do canguru
