Maria Fumaça

This Steam Train
Slowly almost stopped
Oh, its fireman
Sets fire to the bonfire
That kettle
Has to be there until Friday
At the Pedro Osório station
Yes, Sir!

If this train doesn't arrive on time
I'll miss my wedding
Dock, dock coal in this fireplace
This stove is what accelerates this bathtub
The priest is crazy
And puts another in my place

If I arrive late, I won't marry
I lose the bride and the dinner
The girl is not a beauty queen
But she is skilled and makes me happy
Her father is a prosperous farmer
It's not that I'm interested
But it's always good and advisable
To unite the useful with the pleasant

This train doesn't leave the ground
(Possible!)
They urinated on the coal
(What a barbarity!)
They clogged the overcrowding
(Mê!)
And I'm not from this wagon
(But what are you doing here?)
What a big mess
(Opa! Opa!)
There are black and German
Employee with boss
Opa! They fooled me
Well, go lick soap

Tagará, tagará, tagará
Tagará, tagará
Togoro, togoro
Togoro, togoro
Tagará, tagará, tagará
Tagará, tagará, tagará
Togoro, togoro, togoro
If by chance I don't get married
Someone will have
To compensate

This express goes at a trot
It looks more like a nag
This cart is a tortoise with a chimney
I feel sorry for those heading to Bagé
Your collector, where's my change?
Please!

And whistle and crank
Pass tallow on the shins
Its engineer
I'm going to save my father from the gallows
Why not throw this museum
In the scrapyard
And buy a modern Japanese train?

On the joyful day of my engagement
I asked for her hand all excited
The girl's mother assured me
She's a virgin, but she lived in Rio
The father said: She's prime meat
But if she opens her mouth, only nonsense comes out
I said: I'll stay with this girl
I just want her to raise children

This train wasn't yours
They emptied the tire
But where's this kid?
He's in the pee line
There's gum with a tattoo
Disgusting!
And someone from Canguçu did it
They stole my hat
Chiaras!
Call the man from the barracks
And the woman got sick
She made a mess on my foot

Tagará, tagará, tagará
Tagará, tagará
Togoro, togoro
Togoro, togoro
Tagará, tagará
Togoro, togoro
Togoro, togoro
If by chance I don't get married
Someone will have
To compensate
And it's the president of this thing
From R.F.F.S.A, R.F.F.S.A.
R.F.F.S.A, R.F.F.S.A.
R.F.F.S.A, R.F.F.S.A.
