English Translation

Me perguntou se eu tava a fim de peixe

Asked me if I was in the mood for fish

E eu, grávida, quis guaiamum

And me, pregnant, wanted guaiamum

- ou então nenhum.

- or then none.

Pois foi comprar com ar de interesse:

So he went to buy with an air of interest:

Trouxe lula, mexilhão e atum

Brought squid, mussel, and tuna

- mas ói que nêgo ruim...

- but look at that bad man...

Não sai da rua e diz que não se entoca

He doesn't leave the street and says he doesn't hole up

Pois não se amasiou com tatu

Because he didn't shack up with an armadillo

- bidu!...

- I get it!...

Que se casou comigo porque eu era rica:

He married me because I was rich:

Deu o tal golpe do baú.

Pulled off the old gold-digger trick.

Pão-duro pra cachorro leva a bolsa presa à pança

Stingy like a dog, carries the purse attached to the belly

Feito canguru

Like a kangaroo

- vai tomar no ...

- go to hell...

Na cama é um coelho rapidim mas tem mais papo do que baiacu

In bed, he's a quick rabbit but talks more than a blowfish

- apresado come cru...

- in a hurry, eats raw...

E quando passa mal, me ameaça:

And when he gets sick, he threatens me:

Que me leva junto lá pro caju.

He says he'll take me with him to Caju.

- eta urubu!

- such a vulture!

É rubronego desde garotinho mas por ser bicheiro

He's been a Flamengo fan since a little boy but because he's a bookie

Diz que é bangu...

He says he's from Bangu...

Se a gente briga, vai pro telefone

When we fight, he goes to the phone

E faz queixa pra mamãe

And complains to mommy

- ai, jesus!

- oh, Jesus!

No carnaval, sai de saia, sapato de salto alto, pintado!

In the carnival, he goes out in a skirt, high heels, all painted!

- credo em cruz!

- good heavens!

Imita na banheira a dalva de oliveira de "tudo acabado".

Imitates Dalva de Oliveira in the bathtub singing "everything's over."

A "kalu" (chuchu...)

The "Kalu" (darling...)

Se bebe - eu que ature! -

If he drinks - I have to endure! -

Diz que home tem que ser paraquedista

Says that a man has to be a parachutist

Ou manicure.

Or a manicurist.
