Lyrics
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)
Lyrics translation
And look at the bamboo bamboo, bamboo
And look at the bamboo bamboo, bamboo-le-Le (est.)
And look at the bamboo bamboo, bamboo-la-there
I want to see say 3 times bamboo-read, bamboo-la-there
(1) I went to a feast at the House of the Little Uncle
The table was serene
P'ra everyone fit
It had all the quality of cutlery
I had more home than a lot.
But just did not have what to eat (bamboo)
(2) and at such banquet, said Whose, said
Woman who had no husband
Not passed tightening no
For the damned not to starve
Everyone ate their home
Have not had indigestion (bamboo)
(3) I know a home that has 17 son
That put everything in the detour
P'raá police employ
His beauty wife still promises
Give birth to 17
P'ra after then stop (bamboo)
