Moda da Pinga (Marvada Pinga)

With that wild booze, I get all tangled up
I walk into the bar and I’m already making my move
Grab a drink and I ain't leaving
Right there I drink, right there I fall
Just to carry it, I put in the work, oh yeah

I come from the city and I’m already singing
I bring a jug that I’ve been sipping on
I’m stumbling down the road, tripping along
Bumping into the hills, I’m swaying side to side
And where I fall, I’m already snoring, oh yeah

My husband told me, he said to me
Quit drinking, I’m begging you
I never paid attention to a man’s talk
I drink with the hot stuff to cool off the heat
And I drink at night to work up a sweat, oh yeah

Every time I fall, I fall differently
I stumble back and fall forward
I fall slow, I fall suddenly
I’m spinning around, I’m going straight down
But with the booze, I fall happy, oh yeah!

I grab the jug and I’m already swaying
Just to check if it’s really full
I don’t drink too much because I think it’s tacky
On the first gulp, I get right in the middle
On the second drink, that’s when I empty it out, oh yeah

I drink the booze because I love it
I drink the clear stuff and I drink the yellow
I drink from a glass, I drink from a bowl
I drink it spiced with clove and cinnamon
No matter the time, I’m downing that booze, oh yeah

I went to a party down by the Tietê River
And I showed up at dawn
They already handed me booze to drink
They already handed me booze to drink
It was without a care

I drank too much and got wasted
I fell on the ground and laid there
Then I went home arm in arm
Oh, arm in arm with two soldiers
Oh, thank you very much.
