A Garagem da Vizinha

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"A Garagem da Vizinha" is a very popular song from the Portuguese pimba artist Quim Barreiros.----

"A Garagem da Vizinha" (My Neighbour's Garage) is one of Quim Barreiros' biggest hits. In most of his songs Quim Barreiros makes extensive use of ambiguous words, often with obvious sexual suggestions, very notably in this song.

The songs begins with the words "A minha vizinha é boa, da garagem vou cuidar", literally "My neighbour is so good, I'll take care of her garage". Vizinha is the feminine form of vizinho, so all the song is about his female neighbour. In Portuguese, the adjective boa (masculine: bom) has various meanings, and it can be translated not only as good, kind, but also as "hot",or "sexy".

Here are the lyrics of the chorus and translation:

Ponho o carro, tiro o carro, à hora que eu quiser

Que garagem apertadinha, que doçura de mulher

Tiro cedo e ponho à noite, e às vezes à tardinha

Estou até mudando o óleo na garagem da vizinha!

Anytime I want to I put my car in, I take my car out

What a tiny little garage, what a sweet woman

In the morning I take it out and at night put it in, and sometimes in between

And I even change the oil in my neighbour's garage!
