Zumba na caneca [English translation]

Oh my darling, keep apart, keep apart - oi-oh-ah

The clump of white and dark grapes, oi-oh-ah

I was also separated, oi-oh-ah

From a lover that I loved very much.

Now hit the wine cup, 1

Now hit the wine cup

The devil in the wine cup

Is banging out all night long!

The grape that has seeds - oi-oh-ah

Is a tasty fruit - oi-oh-ah

They're like the kisses that I take - oi-oh-ah

From my lover's mouth.

Now hit the wine cup,

Now hit the wine cup

The devil in the wine cup

Is banging out all night long!

Noise, bass drums and fireworks - oi-oh-ah

There in the Outeiro farm - oi-oh-ah

The pigs are slaughtered in December - oi-oh-ah

And the wine is tasted in January.

Now hit the wine cup,

Now hit the wine cup

The devil in the wine cup

Is banging out all night long!

Long life to the adiafa celebration - oi-oh-ah 2

Long life to all those who were there - oi-oh-ah

And long life to our irrigation ditch maker - oi-oh-ah

Who has a wine cup in his hand!

Now hit the wine cup,

Now hit the wine cup

The devil in the wine cup

Is banging out all night long!

Boom, boom

Crash, boom, boom

Crash, boom, boom

Crash, boom, boom

Crash, boom, boom

Crash, boom, boom

Crash, boom, boom

Crash, boom, boom

Now hit the wine cup,

Now hit the wine cup

The devil in the wine cup

Is banging out all night long!
