Foi num ramboia na toi d'Bintim
Ku'm conchê quel morininha
Ta dança ta fazê tchimtchim
Ai k'ma el tava nutridinha

Kond ês trocá di melodia
'M convidal pa nê dançá
El bem pa mim ku alegria
Nôs corpo di jovem entrelaçá

Num rebolar quente e moroso
Ai qui música sabe e doce
'M confessal tud nha paixão
El entrega'm sê coração

Cónd bói cabá qui nô saí
Nô comprá pom la na nhô'Ntêr
'M ba leva'l na tcham d'Sumter
Luar di dia ta iluminá

Nô disfrutá quel madrugada
Quêl d'Ming marcod pa eternidade

It was at a party at Toi d'Bintim's house
That I met that brunette
She danced doing beautiful things
she were so beautiful
When a beautiful song played
I invited you to a dance
She came with great joy
Our youthful bodies were joined
In a warm and loving dance
With music so beautiful and sweet
I confessed all the passion I felt
She gave me her heart
When the dance was over and we left
We went to buy bread at Senhor Antêro's house
Then I went with her to her home
there was a beautiful moonlight
We enjoyed all that dawn
That Sunday day was marked forever
