English Translation

Rato, rato, rato

Rat, rat, rat

Porque motivo tu roeste meu baú?

For what reason did you gnaw my trunk?

Rato, rato, rato,

Rat, rat, rat,

Audacioso e malfazejo gabiru.

Impudent and mischievous opossum.


Rato, rato, rato,

Rat, rat, rat,

Eu hei de ver ainda o teu dia final,

I shall yet see your final day,

A ratoeira te persiga e consiga,

May the mousetrap pursue and achieve,

Satisfazer meu ideal.

To satisfy my ideal.


Quem te inventou?

Who invented you?

Foi o diabo, não foi outro, podes crer

It was the devil, no one else, you can believe

Quem te gerou?

Who bore you?

Foi uma sogra pouco antes de morrer!

It was a mother-in-law shortly before dying!


Quem te criou?

Who raised you?

Foi a vingança, penso eu,

It was vengeance, I think,

Rato, rato, rato, rato,

Rat, rat, rat, rat,

Emissário do judeu.

Messenger of the Jew.


Quando a ratoeira te pegar,

When the mousetrap catches you,

Monstro covarde, não me venhas,

Cowardly monster, don't come to me,

A gritar, por favor.

Crying, please.

Rato velho, descarado, roedor

Old rat, shameless, gnawer

Rato velho, como tu faz horror!

Old rat, how horrifying you are!


Vou provar-te que sou mau,

I'll prove to you that I'm mean,

Meu tostão é garantido,

My penny is guaranteed,

Não te solto nem a pau.

I won't let you go, not even by force.
