English Translation
Xô, xô, xô, xô
Away, away, away, away
Casaca-de-couro
Leather jacket
Cantando as duas na teia (telha)
Singing both on the roof (tile)
Cantando as duas na teia (telha)
Singing both on the roof (tile)
Xô, xô, xô, xô
Away, away, away, away
Casaca-de-couro
Leather jacket
Cantando as duas na teia (telha)
Singing both on the roof (tile)
Cantando as duas na teia (telha)
Singing both on the roof (tile)
Parece um arapuá
It looks like a trap
Cheio de vara e algodão
Full of sticks and cotton
O ninho de uma casaca
The nest of a leather jacket
Não parece ninho não
Doesn't look like a nest at all
Parece mais os parceiros
It looks more like the partners
Dos "pajaú" do sertão
Of the "pajaú" from the hinterland
Xô, xô, xô, xô
Away, away, away, away
Casaca-de-couro
Leather jacket
Cantando as duas na teia (telha)
Singing both on the roof (tile)
Cantando as duas na teia (telha)
Singing both on the roof (tile)
Xô, xô, xô, xô
Away, away, away, away
Casaca-de-couro
Leather jacket
Cantando as duas na teia (telha)
Singing both on the roof (tile)
Cantando as duas na teia (telha)
Singing both on the roof (tile)
Em riba do pé de turco
On top of the turkey foot
Tem um ninho de graveto
There's a nest made of twigs
Tem garrancho de jurema
There's a tangle of jurema
Tem pau branco, tem pau preto
There's white wood, there's black wood
Tem lenha que dá pra facho
There's firewood for a torch
Tem vara que dá espeto
There's a stick for a skewer
Xô, xô, xô, xô
Away, away, away, away
Casaca-de-couro
Leather jacket
Cantando as duas na teia (telha)
Singing both on the roof (tile)
Cantando as duas na teia (telha)
Singing both on the roof (tile)
Xô, xô, xô, xô
Away, away, away, away
Casaca-de-couro
Leather jacket
Cantando as duas na teia (telha)
Singing both on the roof (tile)
Cantando as duas na teia (telha)
Singing both on the roof (tile)
Uma grita, outra responde
One shouts, the other responds
Uma baixa, outra também
One lowers, the other does the same
Parece mulher pilando
It looks like a woman pounding
Pro mode fazer xerém
To make hominy
Subindo e descendo as asas
Going up and down the wings
Como o seio do meu bem
Like the bosom of my love
Xô, xô, xô, xô
Away, away, away, away
Casaca-de-couro
Leather jacket
Cantando as duas na teia (telha)
Singing both on the roof (tile)
Cantando as duas na teia (telha)
Singing both on the roof (tile)
Xô, xô, xô, xô
Away, away, away, away
Casaca-de-couro
Leather jacket
Cantando as duas na teia (telha)
Singing both on the roof (tile)
Cantando as duas na teia (telha)
Singing both on the roof (tile)
Eu nunca vi desafio
I've never seen a challenge
Mais bonito, mais iguá
More beautiful, more equal
Duas casacas-de-couro
Two leather jackets
Quando começa a cantar
When they start to sing
Parece dois violeiros
They look like two guitarists
Num galope à beira-mar
In a gallop by the seaside
Uma grita, outra responde
One shouts, the other responds
Uma baixa, outra também
One lowers, the other does the same
Parece mulher pilando
It looks like a woman pounding
Pro mode fazer xerém
To make hominy
Subindo e descendo as asas
Going up and down the wings
Como o seio do meu bem
Like the bosom of my love
Xô, xô, xô, xô
Away, away, away, away
Casaca-de-couro
Leather jacket
Cantando as duas na teia (telha)
Singing both on the roof (tile)
Cantando as duas na teia (telha)
Singing both on the roof (tile)
Xô, xô, xô, xô
Away, away, away, away
Casaca-de-couro
Leather jacket
Cantando as duas na teia (telha)
Singing both on the roof (tile)
Cantando as duas na teia (telha)
Singing both on the roof (tile)
