Menina do cangerê

Me ensina a fazer mandinga, me ensina mandinga

Me ensina a fazer mandinga, me ensina mandinga

Menina do cangerê,
menina do canzua

Menina do cangerê,
menina do canzua

Ela tem malicia na ginga
Molejo no corpo quando vai jogar

Menina do cangerê,
menina do canzua

Sempre tem um sorriso maldoso,
Mandingua e malicia na hora do azar

Menina do cangerê,
menina do canzua

Teach me to do mandinga, teach me mandinga

Teach me to do mandinga, teach me mandinga

Girl of the cangerê,
girl of the canzuá

Girl of the cangerê,
girl of the canzuá

She has malice in her ginga,
smoothness in her body when she goes to play

Girl of the cangerê,
girl of the canzuá

There is always a wicked smile,
mandinga and malice in the moment of misfortune

Girl of the cangerê,
girl of the canzuá
