This carnival marchlet was originally recorded in 1937 by one of its composers, Jararaca, at Odeon Records. It is frolicsomely sung in the lyrical voice and point of view of a baby telling its mother that it wants to be nursed, and asking for a pacifier to avoid crying; the mother character herself also sings in later verses. It won international visibility thanks to Carmen Miranda's 1939 English-language adaptation, titled "I Want My Mama", which was included in her Broadway debut and in the film ''Down Argentine Way'' (1940).<ref>DUSSEK, Eduardo, ''Carmen Miranda: Melodias Cifradas para Guitarra, Violão e Teclados'', São Paulo:Editora Irmãos Vitale, {{ISBN|85-740-711-02}}.</ref> The song was also recorded by Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters. It was featured in the 1943 ''Tom & Jerry'' short ''Baby Puss'', as performed by a trio of cartoon cats.<ref>{{Citation|last=YouTube|title=mama yo quiero - tom y jerry|date=3 January 2007|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-uFJq6NMSQ|access-date=4 March 2021}}</ref>
