Vou me deitar
I'm going to lie down
Na sala do som
In the sound room
Só quem pode entrar
Only those who can enter
É Milton
Is Milton
Se ele resolver
If he decides
Me acordar
To wake me up
Diga que é melhor
Tell him it's better
Me deixar dormir
To let me sleep
E que é pra ele também
And that it's also for him
Se deitar...
To lie down...
Na sala do som
In the sound room
Se ele descansar
If he takes a break
Vai ser bom
It'll be great
Amanhã vai ser
Tomorrow will be
De arrasar
A blast
Temos que fazer
We have to make
Cinco ou seis horas de show
Five or six hours of show
E a turma tem
And the crowd has
Que deitar
To lay down
E rolar no som
And roll with the sound
Temos que escolher
We have to choose
Qual o tom
What the tone is
Pr'o samba que vai
For the samba that will
Encerrar
Come to an end
E uns detalhes mais
And some more details
Pra acertar
To get it right
Diga ao Bituca pra ele entrar
Tell Bituca to come in
Sem bater
Without knocking
Pra ele entrar
For him to come in
Sem bater
Without knocking
