As vaqueirinhas tudo bêba', já tudo endreada
➔ Adjective Agreement (with a possible grammatical deviation for emphasis/dialect), Use of "tudo" as an intensifier
➔ "As vaqueirinhas tudo bêba'" literally translates to "The cowgirls all drunk". "Tudo" intensifies the adjective "bêba" (drunk). The expected agreement is "bêbas", but "bêba" is used, a colloquial simplification or dialectal variation.

➔ Negative Sentence Formation, Indefinite Article Usage
