Hoje É Dia de Festa
Zeca Pagodinho
Today is Party Day
Today is party day in all the yards, did you hear, Maria
Today is All Saints' Day, good morning to spy on you
The choir is singing at this hour in Sinha's house too
Even snakes must be smoking over there, my people (hey, hey)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Today I want to know how my band is doing at the foot of the congá (hey, hey)
Evil eye is worse than a mother's or godmother's curse
Evil eye also dries up any pepper plant in life
May monkeys bite me if we're not full of magic
And if I'm wrong, Sinhá will take Maria away
Even in good weather, you can't trust, Maria
I've seen it rain with scorching sun, Maria
The cautious one died of old age, and suspicious she became, Maria
Eat with Pedro, but always keep an eye on Pedro, Maria
In Bahia, my people, the drums play day and night
Because the Bahians don't sleep with others' eyes, Maria
