English Translation

Tu toma cuidado Genival

Be careful, Genival

Um dia desse você vai se dar mal

One of these days, you're going to get in trouble

Genival matou um gato e botou colorau

Genival killed a cat and added color to it

Coentro, cebola, cominho, almeirão brejeira, alfavaca de cheiro

Cilantro, onion, cumin, wild lettuce, fragrant basil

E só num botou sal

And just didn't add salt

É que o genival sofria uma revolta sem tamanho

It's just that Genival suffered an immense revolt

E resolveu dar um almoço pro doutor demônio

And decided to give lunch to Dr. Demon

Pra fazer sucesso e melhorar seu ganho

To be successful and improve his income

Tentou dar um almoço pro doutor demônio

He tried to give lunch to Dr. Demon


Quinta-feira da paixão Genival tava de copo e garrafa na mão

On Holy Thursday, Genival had a glass and a bottle in hand

Achou um gato e chegou na encruzilhada

He found a cat and arrived at the crossroads

Arriou a cachaça e o gato no chão

He dropped the cachaça and the cat on the ground

Era meia-noite fora de hora

It was midnight out of time

E ele disse: Agora é hora! Quem quiser comer do gato que chegue agora

And he said: Now is the time! Anyone who wants to eat the cat, come now


Tu toma cuidado Genival

Be careful, Genival

Um dia desse você vai se dar mal

One of these days, you're going to get in trouble

Um pé de vento começou redemunhá

A whirlwind started to whirl

Apareceu um bode preto com os olhos esbugalhados

A black goat with bulging eyes appeared

Cachorro pedicerado, com olhos estufados

A half-dead dog, with bulging eyes

Um porco faltando um quarto

A pig missing a quarter

Um gato faltando um lado

A cat missing a side

Genival se assombrou-se e caiu desmemoriado

Genival was astonished and fell unconscious

O porco roncava, o gato miava, cachorro latia

The pig snored, the cat meowed, the dog barked

O bode bodejava, bufava na venta e berrava: Bébé qué pedi babá

The goat bleated, snorted in the wind, and shouted: Baby wants to ask for milk

Uma voz rouca gritava: Tá vivo que eu vi deitar!

A hoarse voice shouted: He's alive, I saw him lying down!


Chama iaiá pra sangrar

Call iaiá to bleed

Bota no bambuê pra pelar

Put it on the bamboo to peel

Gritavam, sorriam, faziam pirraça

They shouted, smiled, teased

Comeram o gato, beberam a cachaça

They ate the cat, drank the cachaça

Numa nuvem de fumaça desapareceram no ar

In a cloud of smoke, they disappeared into the air

Coitado do Genival!

Poor Genival!

Quase se borrou nas calças, desonerou na retanga

He almost soiled his pants, unloaded in the "retanga"

Tamburou, rolou na canca

Drummed, rolled in the "canca"

Cauê, caô, camará

Cauê, caô, camará
