Jorge Bagre Lyrics Translation in English

Jorge Bagre foi pescar nas águas do rio Jacuí

Jorge Bagre went fishing in the waters of the Jacuí River

Todos disseram: Não vá! Tem um minhocão ali

Everyone said: Don't go! There's a huge worm there

Jorge foi pois é teimoso e todo mundo curioso

Jorge went because he's stubborn, and everyone was curious

Jogou o anzol no rio e o minhocão subiu

He cast the hook into the river, and the huge worm came up

Jorge Bagre, foge dessa cobra

Jorge Bagre, run away from this snake

Jorge Bagre, ela é igual tua sogra

Jorge Bagre, it's just like your mother-in-law

Jorge Bagre, foge logo homem

Jorge Bagre, run away, man

Ou então o minhocão te come

Or else the huge worm will eat you

Esquece o anzol, recolhe outro dia

Forget the hook, retrieve it another day

Que cobra danada, estragou a pescaria

That darn snake ruined the fishing

Outro dia Jorge Bagre voltou todo equipado

Another day, Jorge Bagre returned all equipped

Revólver, facão, bodoque, canivete e machado

Revolver, machete, slingshot, knife, and axe

Jorge quis matar a cobra ali na beira do rio

Jorge wanted to kill the snake by the riverbank

Quando viu o seu tamanho outra vez ele fugiu

When he saw its size again, he ran away

Jorge Bagre, foge dessa cobra

Jorge Bagre, run away from this snake

Jorge Bagre, ela é igual tua sogra

Jorge Bagre, it's just like your mother-in-law

Jorge Bagre, foge logo homem

Jorge Bagre, run away, man

Ou então o minhocão te come

Or else the huge worm will eat you

Esquece tuas armas, recolhe outro dia

Forget your weapons, retrieve them another day

Que cobra danada, estragou o dia

That darn snake ruined the day

Não se dando por vencido, Jorge Bagre então pensou

Not giving up, Jorge Bagre then thought

Tenho algo parecido, eis a solução que dou

I have something similar, here's the solution I give

Jorge pegou sua sogra, jogou ela lá no rio

Jorge took his mother-in-law, threw her into the river

Foi aquele rebuliço, e o minhocão fugiu

There was a commotion, and the huge worm fled

Jorge Bagre, muito obrigado

Jorge Bagre, thank you very much

Jorge Bagre, tu tens nos salvado

Jorge Bagre, you have saved us

Jorge Bagre, como faz agora

Jorge Bagre, what do you do now

Foi-se a cobra, ficou tua sogra

The snake is gone, your mother-in-law remains

Como vai pescar ali com aquele tribufu

How will you fish there with that ugly woman

Esquece a pescaria e vai caçar tatu

Forget fishing and go hunt armadillos
