Flor Do Mamulengo
Fagner Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eu sou a flor do mamulengo
Me apaixonei por um boneco
E ele "neco" de se apaixonar
"Neco" de se apaixonar (Bis)
E ele "neco"

Já estou com os nervos a flor do pano
De desengano vou ter um treco
E ele "neco" de se apaixonar
"Neco" de se apaixonar (Bis)
E ele "neco"

(Refrão)
Se no teatro eu não te atar
Boneco eu juro vou me esfarrapar
Eu não consigo viver sem teu dengo, meu mamulengo (Bis)
E ele "neco" de se apaixonar
"Neco" de se apaixonar (Bis)
E ele "neco"





(Refrão)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Fagner's song "Flor do mamulengo" tell the story of a woman who falls in love with a puppet named "neco," which is praised by the people in the theater where she watches the show. She confesses to feeling nervous and faint at the idea of losing him or not being able to have him for herself. She declares her undying love for him and even threatens to destroy herself if she cannot be with him.


This song has a lighthearted tone that captures the spirit of the mamulengo, a traditional puppet theater that originated more than 200 years ago in the northeast of Brazil. The mamulengo is a popular form of entertainment that is still performed today in many parts of Brazil, featuring puppets made of wood or fabric that are operated by a puppeteer. The lyrics of the song capture the charm and whimsy of the mamulengo and the emotions it can elicit in the audience, from laughter to tears.
