Luiz Gonzaga - Pagode russo (Russian pagode)

Ontem eu sonhei que estava em Moscou
Yesterday I dreamed that I was in Moscow
Yesterday I dreamed I was in Moscow

Dançando pagode russo na Boate Cossacou
Dancing Russian pagode in the Cossacou Club
Dancing a Russian-style pagode in the Cossacou nightclub

.

Ontem eu sonhei que estava em Moscou
Yesterday I dreamed that I was in Moscow
Yesterday I dreamed I was in Moscow

Dançando pagode russo na Boate Cossacou
Dancing Russian pagode in the Cossacou Club
Dancing a Russian-style pagode in the Cossacou nightclub

.

Parecia até um frevo naquele cai ou não cai
It even looked like a frevo in that fall or not fall
It even looked like frevo in that will-it-fall or not moment

Parecia até um frevo naquele vai ou não vai
It even looked like a frevo in that go or not go
It even looked like frevo in that will-it-happen or not moment

.

Parecia até um frevo naquele cai ou não cai
It even looked like a frevo in that fall or not fall
It even looked like frevo in that will-it-fall or not moment

Parecia até um frevo naquele vai ou não vai
It even looked like a frevo in that go or not go
It even looked like frevo in that will-it-happen or not moment

Entra cossaco
Enter Cossack
Cossack, come in

Cossaco dança agora
Cossack dances now
Now the Cossack dances

Na dança do cossaco, não fica cossaco fora
In the dance of the Cossack, no Cossack stays out
In the Cossack dance, no Cossack stays on the sidelines

Entra cossaco
Enter Cossack
Cossack, come in

Cossaco dança agora
Cossack dances now
Now the Cossack dances

Na dança do cossaco, não fica cossaco fora
In the dance of the Cossack, no Cossack stays out
In the Cossack dance, no Cossack stays on the sidelines

Ei!
Hey!
Hey!

Ontem eu sonhei que estava em Moscou

Funfact: In the part where Gonzaga sings ''Na dança do cossaco, não fica cossaco fora" the last part has a double-meaning to portuguese speakers, as cossaco sounds just like ''com o saco'' (with the balls) when he sings about not Cossack being left out of the dance it can also mean ''No balls will be out"[of the pants] making it a very funny quote.
