A Garagem da Vizinha
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"A Garagem da Vizinha" (The Neighbour's Garage) is one of Quim Barreiros' biggest hits. He is also known for hits such as "A Cabritinha" (The Little Goat) about a man who enjoyed sucking his little goat's tits and "Mariazinha", when he asked this woman, "Maria" (or Mary), to let him go to the kitchen to smell her "codfish"... most of his songs are full of ambiguous words, often filled with an obvious sexual connotation, very notable in this song.
Mr. Barreiros enjoys a cult-like following among college students and performs each year in some reputed universities of Portugal.
The song 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!"
"I put my car, I take my car, anytime I want to
What a tight little garage, what a sweet woman
Take it early and put it at night, and sometimes in the evening
I'm even changing the oil in the neighbour's garage!"
