Sebastiana

I invited my friend SebastianaConvidei a comadre Sebastiana
To dance and xaxar in ParaíbaPra dançar e xaxar na Paraíba
She came with a different danceEla veio com uma dança diferente
And he jumped like a howler monkeyE pulava que só uma guariba
She came with a different danceEla veio com uma dança diferente
And he jumped like a howler monkeyE pulava que só uma guariba

And he shouted: Aeiou-ipsiloneE gritava: A-e-i-o-u-ipsilone
And he shouted: Aeiou-ipsiloneE gritava: A-e-i-o-u-ipsilone

Already tired in the middle of the gameJá cansada no meio da brincadeira
And dancing out of stepE dançando fora do compasso
I grabbed Sebastiana by the armSegurei Sebastiana pelo braço
And I shouted, don't make a messE gritei, não faça sujeira
The xaxado heated up at the dance hallO xaxado esquentou na gafieira
Sebastiana didn't fail anymoreSebastiana não deu mais fracasso

And he shouted: Aeiou-ipsiloneE gritava: A-e-i-o-u-ipsilone
And he shouted: Aeiou-ipsiloneE gritava: A-e-i-o-u-ipsilone
