English Translation

Quem é aquele moço de chinelo grande

Who is that young man with big flip-flops

Que elegante caminha é o pato, é o pato

So elegant walking, it's the duck, it's the duck

Disse a angolista

Said the angolist

Assim deste jeito para a galinha

Like this, for the chicken

O marreco mui debochado

The very cheeky duck

Deu uma risada assim qua, qua, qua

He laughed like qua, qua, qua

O pato não é de nada

The duck is nothing

Ele é só elegante pra caminhar

He's just elegant to walk

O sapo porteiro do baile

The frog, the gatekeeper of the dance

Cuidava os cascudos pra não deixar entrar

Watched the bullheads so they wouldn't enter

Pra manter a sua fama

To maintain his fame

Engolia cascudama pra não incomodar

He swallowed bullhead to not bother

O perdigão vinha da chácara

The partridge came from the farm

Com os pés sujos não pode dançar

With dirty feet, can't dance

Cravava o bico no chão

Stuck its beak in the ground

Eu sou o perdigão e pegou assobiar

I am the partridge and started to whistle


O avestruz índio campeiro

The ostrich, the country Indian

Só vendo o entrevero fazia um hum

Only seeing the commotion, made a hum

Vendo que o baile dos bichos

Seeing that the dance of the animals

Ia dar reboliço, ia dar sururu

Was going to cause a stir, was going to make a fuss

Mal a cigarra abriu o peito

As soon as the cicada opened its chest

E um certo sujeito já se apresentou

And a certain guy introduced himself

O gamba com a boca azeda

The skunk with a sour mouth

Quis beijar a galinha e o galo não gostou

Wanted to kiss the hen, and the rooster didn't like it

O porco já virou a mesa

The pig already turned the table

E foi pra cozinha e o veado disparou

And went to the kitchen, and the deer ran off

O zorrilho com a cola erguida

The skunk with its tail up

No meio da sala em muitos mijou

In the middle of the room, peed a lot


O sapo vendo a coisa feia

The frog seeing things getting ugly

Marimbondo e abelha que passam pra adiante

Wasps and bees passing by

Escorado no baldrame

Leaning on the foundation

Dizia pro enxame gurizada avancem

Said to the swarm, kids, advance

Foi um entrevero danado

It was a crazy commotion

Quando o vespado entrou no salão

When the wasp entered the hall

Abelha e marimbondo preto

Bee and black wasp

E daqueles vermelho é brabo o ferrão

And those red ones, their sting is fierce

Deu um esparramo de bicho

There was a mess of animals

Até o pobre do ouriço pegou se bailar

Even the poor hedgehog started to dance

Ficou só o gaúcho grilo

Only the gaucho cricket remained

Tenteando um violino atrás do sofá

Trying a violin behind the sofa
