    A Brazilian classic that I'd like translated if someone would be so kind. (Varda or Truthseeker.)
    Some of the lyrics are intelligible from my knowledge of Spanish. But others aren't.
    Help, please?


    Mamãe Eu Quero by Carmen Miranda

    Mamãe eu quero, mamãe eu quero
    Mamãe eu quero mamar!
    Dá a chupeta, dá a chupeta, ai, dá a chupeta
    Dá a chupeta pro bebê não chorar!

    Dorme filhinho do meu coração
    Pega a mamadeira em vem entra no meu cordão
    Eu tenho uma irmã que se chama Ana
    De piscar o olho já ficou sem a pestana

    Eu olho as pequenas, mas daquele jeito
    E tenho muita pena não ser criança de peito
    Eu tenho uma irmã que é fenomenal
    Ela é da bossa e o marido é um boçal

    this song is a marcha de carnaval, it's very old traditional street carnaval music... it's a song with double meanings... supposed to be inocent, but isn't

    it's silly

    Mommy I want by Carmen Miranda

    Mommy I want, mommy I want
    Mommy I want to mamar! (do you have a verb for drinking milk out of a breast or a baby bottle? that's mamar is)
    Give him the pacifier, aw, give him the pacifier
    Give him the pacifier so the baby won't cry!

    Sleep little son of my heart
    Take the bottle and get into my rope (entra no meu cordao literally translates to get into my rope, but i think it's something related to carnaval groups... like, they are divided by ropes, and you'd join the other group by passing under the rope... i dont know

    I have a sister called Ana
    She winked so much she is out of eyelashes

    I look at the chicks, but like that
    I'm very sorry I'm not a breast fed child
    I have a sister who is fenomenal
    She is a bossa girl and the husband is a fool (you know bossa, right?)


    Sorry I couldn't do any better
