Maneco Telecoteco
Zeca Pagodinho
Maneco Telecoteco
Teco, teleco, telecoteco
It's Maneco's beat
Punishing the tambourine
Teco, teleco, telecoteco
It's on the crest of success
Until closing a bar...(2x)
Maneco was a well-behaved guy
Educated, calm
Hardworking citizen
One day he met Carolina
A sweet girl
And then he fell in love...
Carol wasn't very sensible
He ended up at a loss
When love came to an end
Now he cries at the bar
Teleco, telecoteco
Poor tambourine...
-Say there!:
Teco, teleco, telecoteco
It's Maneco's beat
Punishing the tambourine
Teco, teleco, telecoteco
It's on the crest of success
Until closing the bar...(2x)
Now a comadre appeared
With a ladylike look
Maneco was impressed
The guys already said:
Get out of this mess
She's sly
A real scammer...
Be careful!
She'll tarnish your name
Wants to take your phone
The shack and the tambourine
My God
A repeat is already looming
And Maneco's success
Is coming to an end...
(Repeat the lyrics)
