Convite de Baile
O carteiro meu amigo uma carta me entregou
Era um convite de baile que a morena me mandou
E faltava poucos dias porque o carteiro atrasou
A festa dos quinze anos que faz meu futuro amor
Ela estava me esperando, ai, ai
Cheirando igual uma flor
A festa foi realizada na fazenda mangabeira
Tinha torda no terreiro de folha de bananeira
E o lanche da moçada era biscoito na peneira
Uma sanfona xonada no arrasta-pé e rancheira
A morena nos meus braços, ai, ai
Dançamos a noite inteira
Só depois que o Sol saiu que terminou o bailão
A morena me pediu vamos sentar no salão
Me deu um beijo e sorriu, quase morri de emoção
Pra falar com os seus pais e pedir a sua mão
E marcamos o casamento, ai, ai
Para o fim do verão
Ball Invitation
My mailman friend delivered a letter to me
It was a dance invitation that my girl sent me
And there were just a few days left because the mailman was late
The party for my future love's sweet sixteen
She was waiting for me, oh, oh
Smelling just like a flower
The party took place at the Mangabeira farm
There were games in the yard with banana leaves
And the snacks for the kids were cookies on a sieve
A lively accordion played for the dance and ranch style
The girl in my arms, oh, oh
We danced the whole night long
Only after the sun came up did the big dance end
The girl asked me, let’s sit in the hall
She gave me a kiss and smiled, I almost died from the thrill
To talk to her parents and ask for her hand
And we set the wedding date, oh, oh
For the end of summer
