Vem descendo a avenida
Come down the avenue
O negro do rádio de pilhas
The black of the battery radio
Todo contente da vida
All happy of life
Porque não chove e o sol brilha
Why don't it rain and the sun shines
Patilha comprida e carapinha
Long tab and carapinha
Com um visual garrido
With a gaudy look
Dançando enquanto caminha
Dancing while walking
Rádio colado ao ouvido
Radio glued to the ear
Sei de quem tem hi-fis
I know who has hi-fis
E lê a enciclopédia
And read the encyclopedia
Mas este negro curte mais
But this black man likes it more
Mesmo só com a onda média
Even just with the average wave

Filho da savana
Son of the savannah
Primo de um coqueiro
Cousin of a coconut tree
Deus deu-lhe a devoção
God gave him devotion
Mas deu-lhe o ritmo primeiro
But it gave him the first rhythm
Quando o negro vai ao baile
When the goes to the ball
Fica o logo o centro
The logo is the center
Tal como no rádio
Just like on the radio
A música vem lá de dentro
The music comes from inside
No domingo vi o negro desgostoso
On Sunday I saw the disgusted black man
O quiosque estava fechado
The kiosk was closed
E o velho rádio fanhoso
And the old fanhoso radio
Sem pilhas estava calado
No batteries was silent
Onda média
Medium wave
Onda média
Medium wave
Onda média
Medium wave
Sei de quem tem hi-fis
I know who has hi-fis
E lê a enciclopédia
And read the encyclopedia
Mas este negro curte mais
But this black man likes it more
Mesmo só com a onda média
Even just with the average wave
Onda média
Medium wave
