Rapa de Angu Lyrics Translation in English
Kadu Mauad
Portuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Sempre que vejo a mãe na beira do fogão
Whenever I see mom by the stove
Na cinta um avental, colher de pau na mão
With an apron around her waist, a wooden spoon in her hand
Tempera a sal com alho o caldo de ouro em pó
Seasoning the broth with salt and garlic, the golden powder
Não para de mexer nem um segundo só
She doesn't stop stirring, not even for a second
Espera incrementar o forrobodó!
She waits to enhance the forrobodó!
E a toque de baião prepara um mingau
And to the beat of baião, she prepares a porridge
Melhor botar o olho, e se desandar
It's better to keep an eye on it, and if it goes wrong
Pode deixar porque o que eu gosto ainda vai ‘tá lá
Don't worry because what I like will still be there
No fundo da panela
At the bottom of the pot
Tem rapa de angu
There's the scrape of cornmeal
No fundo da panela
At the bottom of the pot
Tem rapa de angu
There's the scrape of cornmeal
No fundo da panela
At the bottom of the pot
Tem rapa de angu
There's the scrape of cornmeal
No fundo da barriga
In the depths of the belly
É boa pra chuchu
It's good, just like chayote
(É rapa de angu, é rapa de angu)
(It's the scrape of cornmeal, it's the scrape of cornmeal)
Fubá, angu, polenta, e quantos nomes mais
Cornmeal, cornmeal, polenta, and how many more names
Se pode comer frito ou no feijão com arroz
You can eat it fried or with beans and rice
O que grudar no fundo o leite vai soltar
What sticks to the bottom, the milk will release
Primeiro eu como a rapa, o resto vem depois
First, I eat the scrape, the rest comes later
Espera incrementar o forrobodó!
She waits to enhance the forrobodó!
E a toque de baião prepara um mingau
And to the beat of baião, she prepares a porridge
Melhor botar o olho, e se desandar
It's better to keep an eye on it, and if it goes wrong
Pode deixar porque o que eu gosto ainda vai ‘tá lá
Don't worry because what I like will still be there
No fundo da panela

There's the scrape of cornmeal
No fundo da panela

Tem rapa de angu

No fundo da barriga
