Funk Da Pamonha

video


This song cracks me up beyond all reason. It is sung by Rodney Dy and is called "Funk da Pamonha". A pamonha is a Brazilian dish made of mushed corn and cooked in corn husk pockets. This song uses advertisement slogans like the ones you hear from the speakers of advertising cars and bikes. That is one job I would not want. The other food mentioned in the song is cural, which is also made of corn.

The lyrics go along the lines of "come see my pamonha stand", "my pamonha's are cheaper then theirs" and "if I give you my pamonha will you give me your cural?" I would love for someone who speaks Portuguese to translate this for me!

  • Haha, it´s so hilarious as ridiculous.

    here is a info about pamonha:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pamonha


    I've made a fast translation over the original lyrics:

    ****

    Alô dona de casa...
    Pamonha... Pamonha... Pamonha...
    É o puro suco do milho

    Alô dona de casa
    Olha a pamonha
    Olha o cural

    Vai pamonha, vai cural
    Vai pamonha, vai cural

    Vamos chegando, experimentando
    Pamonhas fresquinhas do jeitinho do seu paladar
    Uma delícia...

    Quanto você acha que custa essa pamonha?
    Mas quanto você acha que custa este cural?
    Quanto você acha que custa essa pamonha?
    Mas quanto você acha que custa este cural?

    Preço da pamonha muito alto
    Põe uma pamonha mais embaixo
    Preço da pamonha muito alto
    A pamonha é mais embaixo

    Se eu te dou minha pamonha tu me dá o teu cural?
    Se eu te dou minha pamonha tu me dá o teu cural?

    Tragam bacias, tragam panelas
    Tragam bacias, tragam panelas

    *****

    Hello housewife
    Pamonha...
    It´s the purest corn's juice

    Hello Housewife
    See the pamonha
    See the cural

    Go the pamonha
    Go cural

    Come on and taste
    Fresh pamonha just for you taste
    Delicious

    How much you think this pamonha costs?
    And How much you think this cural costs?
    How much you think this pamonha costs?
    And How much you think this cural costs?

    The price of pamonha is too high
    Get the pamonha lower
    The price of pamonha is too high
    The pamonha is down below

    If i gave to you my pamonha, do you give to me your cural?
    If i gave to you my pamonha, do you give to me your cural?
    (it´s a kind of sex insinuation here)

    Bring basins, bring pots
    Bring basins, bring pots
