Lyrics
Quando eu era menininho
A gente sentava no chão
Com uma caixa de fósforo na mão
Eu passava a minha pra ela
E ela passava a dela pra mim
E a gente cantava assim:
Escravos de Jó jogavam caxangá
Tira, bota, deixa ficar
Deixa cair, deixa ficar, deixa cair
Guerreiros com guerreiros
Fazem zigue zigue zá
Guerreiros com guerreiros
Fazem zigue zigue zá
Deixa ficar, deixa cair
Guerreiros com guerreiros
Fazem zigue zigue zá
Guerreiros com guerreiros
Fazem zigue zigue zá
Quando eu era menininho
A gente sentava no chão
Com uma caixa de fósforo na mão
Eu passava a minha pra ela
E ela passava a dela pra mim
E a gente cantava assim:
Escravos de Jó jogavam caxangá
Tira, bota, deixa ficar
Deixa cair, deixa ficar, deixa cair
Lyrics translation
When I was a little boy
We sat on the floor
With a matchbox in hand
I would pass mine to her
And she would pass hers on to me
And we sang like this:
Slaves of job played mace
Take off, boot, let it be
Drop, drop, drop
Warriors with Warriors
Do zigue zigue zá
Warriors with Warriors
Do zigue zigue zá
Let it go, let it go
Warriors with Warriors
Do zigue zigue zá
Warriors with Warriors
Do zigue zigue zá
When I was a little boy
We sat on the floor
With a matchbox in hand
I would pass mine to her
And she would pass hers on to me
And we sang like this:
Slaves of job played mace
Take off, boot, let it be
Drop, drop, drop
