Juca foi autuado em flagrante
Como meliante
Pois sambava hem diante
Da janela de Maria
Bern no meio da alegria
A noite virou dia
O seu luar de prata
Virou chuva fria
A sua serenata
Nao acordou Maria
Juca ficou desapontado
Declarou ao delegado
Nao saber se amor é crime
Ou se samba é pecado
En legitima defesa
Batucou assim na mesa
O delegado é bamba
Na delegacia
Mas nunca fêz samba
N unca viu Maria
O delegado é bamba
Na delegacia
Mas nunca fêz samba
N unca viu Maria
Juca was arrested for dancing
It was part of his romancing
Serenading his Maria
Who was finding it entrancing
Two policemen, reconnoitering
Decided he was loitering
Outside the shops
Along that street in Rio
He tried to get the cops
To make the act a trio
Juca was a little disgusted
When they took him into custody
He said, "Now just for dancing, can a guy get busted?"
His defense was very short
He did a samba in the court
And yet the judge said "Guilty, why, the very idea"
But he hadn't danced in years and never met Maria
Juca said, "It sure would be a great idea
If judges learned to dance
And if they met my Maria"
