Moda da Pinga

With the damn moonshine is how I get messed up
I walk into the bar and already throw my money
I grab the glass and don't leave from there
Right there I drink, right there I fall
Only to carry it is when I work, oh yeah!

I come from the city, already singing
I bring a big bottle that I've been sipping
I come stumbling down the path
Hitting the fences, I come swaying
And where I fall, I start snoring right away, oh yeah!

My husband told me, he said to me
Stop drinking, I ask as a favor
I never valued a man's talk
I drink with the sun hot to cool down the heat
If I drink at night, it's to break a sweat, oh yeah!

Every time I fall, I fall differently
I lean back and fall forward
I fall slowly, I fall suddenly
I go in circles, I go straight
But being drunk, I fall happily, oh yeah!

I grab the big bottle and start swinging
Just to see if it's really full
I don't drink it all at once because I find it ugly
With the first sip, I reach halfway
With the second gulp is when I empty it, oh yeah!

I drink moonshine because I like it
I drink the clear one, I drink the yellow one
I drink in a glass, I drink in a bowl
I drink it spiced with cloves and cinnamon
No matter the weather, it goes down the throat, oh yeah!

I went to a party by the Tietê river
I arrived there at dawn
They gave me moonshine to drink
They gave me moonshine to drink, it wasn't even boiled, oh yeah!

I drank too much and got wasted
I fell on the ground and stayed lying down
Then I went home arm in arm
Oh, arm in arm with two soldiers
Oh, thank you very much!
