Cork Puller Tune

Here's a song with Portuguese to English translation often heard during Carnaval in

Brazil.

Saca-Rolha (Zé da Zilda - Zilda -

Waldyr Machado)

As águas vão rolar

Garrafa cheia eu não quero ver

sobrar

Eu passo a mão no saca saca

saca-rolha

E bebo até me afogar

Deixa as águas rolar

Se a polícia por isso me prender

Mas na última hora me soltar

Eu pego um saca saca saca

saca-rolha

Ninguém me agarra, ninguém me

agarra

Cork-Puller

The waters are going to roll

I don't want to see any full bottle

left

I get a hold of the cork cork

cork-puller

And drink until I drown

Let the waters roll

If the police lock me up for that

And at the last minute release me

I get a hold of the cork cork

cork-puller

Nobody catches me, nobody

catches me
