The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Tuna Recreativa" by Rui Veloso.
Lyrics
Pus de pé a velha tuna
E fui cantar os meus dias
Juntei os amigos da rua
E fiz versáµes das melodias
Andamos a passar rifas
Para comprar instrumentos
Demos um ter᧠o de entrada
E o resto a pagamentos
Quinta-feira era o ensaio
E ao domingo actuaá§á£o
Mas depois ganhamos fama
E fomos em digressá£o
Lembro o dia da estreia
Num baile de caridade
Muita gente casa cheia
Foi a hora da verdade
Quando subimos ao palco
Cada um fez uma figa
Uns com tremura nas pernas
Outros com dores de barriga
Tocamos o mais que podemos
A esticar o reportório
E á s tantas até pusemos
A dan᧠ar o auditório
Lyrics translation
I put up the old tuna
And I went to sing my days
I gathered friends from the street
And I made verses of the melodies
We're going through raffles.
To buy instruments
We gave an entrance ticket
And the rest to payments
Thursday was the rehearsal
And on Sunday the performance
But then we gain fame
And we went on tour
I remember the day of the premiere
At a charity ball
Lots of people full house
It was the moment of truth
When we take the stage
Each made a pussy
Some with trembling legs
Others with stomach pains
We play as much as we can
Stretching the repertoire
And so many even put
The dance the auditorium
