English Translation

Cobra criada não pega sapo no chão

A well-raised snake doesn't catch toads on the ground

Cobra criada não pega sapo no chão

A well-raised snake doesn't catch toads on the ground

Ela não arma bote pra nada e só come o que vem na mão

It doesn't set traps for anything and only eats what comes in its hand

Ela não arma bote pra nada e só come o que vem na mão

It doesn't set traps for anything and only eats what comes in its hand

Olha aqui o federal onde chega ele é bem chegado

Look at the federal, wherever he goes, he's well-received

Vê tudo e não vê nada, tem boca e fica calado

Sees everything and sees nothing, has a mouth and stays silent

Respeita malandro e mané e só fala na hora certa

Respects the clever and the fool, only speaks at the right time

Não tem medo da madrugada e nem acredita em sujesta

Isn't afraid of the early morning and doesn't believe in superstition

É que a cobra criada não pega sapo no chão

It's because a well-raised snake doesn't catch toads on the ground

Cobra criada não pega sapo no chão

A well-raised snake doesn't catch toads on the ground

Ela não arma bote pra nada e só come o que vem na mão

It doesn't set traps for anything and only eats what comes in its hand

Ela não arma bote pra nada e só come o que vem na mão

It doesn't set traps for anything and only eats what comes in its hand

Já o esperto demais ele chega na cara-de-pau

On the other hand, the overly clever one arrives boldly

Perguntando quem vai dar dois que ele tá com uma coisa legal

Asking who will give two, as he has something legal

Ele não mede as consequencias de repente ele é grampeado

He doesn't measure the consequences; suddenly, he's wiretapped

Assina o flagrante perfeito e depois diz que foi gagoetado

Signs the perfect catch and then says he was fooled

E mas cobra criada não pega sapo no chão

But a well-raised snake doesn't catch toads on the ground

Cobra criada não pega sapo no chão

A well-raised snake doesn't catch toads on the ground

Ela não arma bote pra nada e só come o que vem na mão

It doesn't set traps for anything and only eats what comes in its hand

Ela não arma bote pra nada e só come o que vem na mão

It doesn't set traps for anything and only eats what comes in its hand
