Quadrilha Completa: Marcada e Falada (feat. Mariangela Zan)

Attention, folks
Let's start at the beginning, at the beginning of the beginning
Of the commencement, of the initiation, of the continuation
Of the continuation of the quadrille's start
Half on one side and the other half on the other side

Ladies and gentlemen, find your partner
Half to this side and half to that side
Please, sarnieiro caroneiro, I ask
Which side should I go to play?
To begin with, I'm not a colonel
And this is not a game, it's a quadrille

Attention, Mr. Mario Zan
I'm going to give you the signal to tear up the big accordion
Attention
Now!

Mark the step
Anavan
Means forward, everyone together
When the pairs meet in the center, they greet each other
Like this
(Nhá Zéfa, it's just to greet)

Anarriê
Everyone back, marching in reverse
Yes, always moving away
(Is the dress burning, Nhá Ana?)

Balancê
Gentleman in front of the lady, swaying
Oh!

Lady and gentleman take a few turns together
But not clinging
That's it!
Look, the hall monitor is here
There are too many women
(Hey Zefa, stop clinging to the gentleman)

Anavan of ladies
Only the women in the center of the hall
Left with left
The ladies join hands and wait for the signal

Eagle eye
The ladies circling with hands together
And the gentlemen keep swaying
(Roque, put on your boots)

Approach of gentlemen
The gentlemen approach
They take the hands of the ladies on this side, with the right hand
The other side with the left hand
Always to the north
Everyone holding hands in position
To the middle of the hall, forward
Yes, weeding on the foot

Turned to the south?
Everyone turns back holding hands
That's it, weeding
(Just holding hands, I already said)

Cross
Since the ladies are in the center
Pull the gentlemen from the opposite side

Balancê
Everyone swaying
(Go, Roque, Filó is not looking at you, she's cross-eyed)
Oh!

You can dance with the ladies
(Help me, give me your arms)
The kid doesn't join the circle of adults
(I'm not a kid, it's just that I forgot to grow up)

Anavan of ladies
The ladies go to the center
Left with left
Approach of gentlemen
Now it's the gentlemen's turn to approach
And taking the hands of the ladies

(Sir, please, which way should I turn?)
(Follow the arrow in one direction)
Cover in four, first pair up with pair
Then turn the ladies in the center

In your places
The ladies pull the gentlemen and return to their places
(Go, Dita, you're as slow as a snail)

Balancê
Everyone swaying
Oh!

Gentleman dances with lady
One woman for each pair, two is not allowed
(She's my wife and my daughter, poia)

Anavan
Circle of four
Form a circle of four pairs
Like this

Turn to the left
Turn to the right
(I found a wallet)
(It's mine, it's mine)
(An empty cigarette case)
(Oh, but I don't smoke, uai)

Mark the step
Attention, folks
Angels' kiss
The ladies kiss each other, making a sound
Now, attention
Men's kiss
The gentlemen hug each other
(What a lot of beautiful women, oh)

Turn to the left
Turn to the right
(Hey Tião, let go of Nhá Rita, it's just to kiss the men)
In your places
Everyone returning to their places
The horseshoe fell off that one

Balancê
(Tonico's not here, because he's always winning the lottery, uai)
Oh!
(They stepped on my feet)
(On the hand that shouldn't be)

Anavan
(Oh, they kicked my shin)
Anarriê
Big circle
Everyone holding hands forms a big circle
That's it
(Oh, Candinha fell)

Turn to the left
Turn to the right
Lady in the center
Gentlemen in a circle
The women go to the center, holding hands
And the gentlemen, also holding hands, form another circle

Join here, brick in the lamp
Ladies turn to the right
Gentlemen to the left
Go
Opposite
(No firearms allowed in the hall)
(And those who have firearms either)

Attention, we're going to crown
First the ladies
When the gentlemen, who are holding hands
Get close to the pairs, they pass their hands over, crowning
Like this
(Let go of her hair, Zé)

Go to the right
Go to the left
There are too many hats
(Or there are not enough heads)

Gentlemen in the center
Walking through the center
Ladies in a circle
The gentlemen forming a circle in the center
And the ladies another circle

Turn to the left
Turn to the right
Attention, we're going to crown the gentlemen
Now the ladies crown the gentlemen

Turn to the left
(To the left, sô)
Turn to the right
Big circle
(The paint is fading)

Balancê
(Look, the man lost his woman)
Oh!
Attention to the braid
Go
Braided step
The lady follows as the gentleman wants
(Sir there, either take off your hat or take off your shoe)
(To decrease the height)
(Oh, it's not my fault if I grew too much)

Attention
Let's get to the pairs and take a picture
(Take what, the clothes?)
(Yes, always smiling, even if by force)
Pair with pair
Look at the photographer
(Zé, smile with your mouth closed)
(Hey deaf one falling)

Balancê
Oh!
Path to the farm
The ladies go outside
Arm in arm with the gentleman
Turning in a circle
Take your hand out of the neighbor's pocket
(It's empty, uai)
Oh, folks, here comes the rain
Uh
It was just to deceive
The bridge is broken (ouch)
Now everyone goes back the other way
Pretend to go, but don't go
And go forward
And go back
And go forward all at once

Balancê!
Oh!
Prepare for the braid
The ladies stand in front
Backwards, with hands up
And the gentlemen stand behind, with hands up
That's it!
They keep spinning in this position
(It's not a robbery, uai?)

The gentlemen spin the ladies
Passing them behind
But without letting go of their hands
That's it!
(Don't hold hands so tightly, uai)
Go

Now the gentleman lets go of the lady who is being held by the hands
From behind, and grabs in the same position the lady in front
There's a lack of light in the hall
(Also, they threw a brick at the lamp)

Braid
Follow the braid
Always following
When you get to the pair, sway
Did someone steal my umbrella?
(And the woman too)
Oh!

Big circle
Star formation
Everyone arm in arm
Everyone arm in arm, let's spin
Just like a star
Like this
Just like that

No kicking allowed (only for handsome guys)
Half turn
Another half turn (and another half turn)
Big circle
(Let go of the girl's waist, hey Zé)

Balancê!
Oh!
Attention to make the tunnel
It's here, S'Ignácio, where it will start
Like this
Go
That's it, that's how it goes

Step by step, in threes
The last one to stay
(Will stay for Auntie)
Attention, Nhô Zé
When the tunnel passage is over, go into a big circle
Like this, folks
Everyone holding hands
That's it, they're leaving, always leaving
S'Ignácio leading the line

The train is blowing smoke
It's already turning the corner
In your places
Look at the accordion
(Hold on, Mario Zan)

Anavan
Anarriê
Balancê
(The groom is running away)
Shaqualhê
(Grab the groom)
Oh!

Mário Zan, stretch the bellows of the big accordion and lean on it
To finish
Everyone
Path to the farm
Close the umbrellas

Is anyone limping?
(No, it was a shoe, from the shoe that got stuck)
(No, it was the groom who stumbled)
(Don't neglect your wallets)
Because they're empty, uai
The cattle burst out
Always following
(Path to the farm)
