Fui dançar com uma morena muito linda
Se não me engano, foi em Santa Catarina
Ela me disse: Eu não danço com peão de estância
Fede a barro de mangueira, a galpão e a creolina!
Ela me disse: Eu não danço com peão de estância
Fede a barro de mangueira, a galpão e a creolina!
Dali um pouco, o gaiteiro cansou
E me pediu que lhe desse uma mão
E a morena veio e me perguntou
Se eu não cantava inglês, nem que fosse uma canção
I love you, I love me
Eu vou cantar o João Balaio só pra ti
Doveslai, doveslai, doveslou
Doveslai, taimeti goodi guslão
Doveslai, doveslai, doveslou
Doveslai, taimeti goodi guslão
I love you, I love me
Eu vou cantar o João Balaio só pra ti
Doveslai, doveslai, doveslou
Doveslai, taimeti goodi guslão
Doveslai, doveslai, doveslou
Doveslai, taimeti goodi guslão
