Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Todos os dias bem de tardezinha

Every day, in the late afternoon

Vou camperear la na beira da roça

I go horseback riding on the edge of the field

Logo escuto os cachorros latindo

Soon, I hear the dogs barking

E ai que a coisa engrossa

And that's when things get serious

No entreveiro da guaitecada

In the midst of the cattle ranch chaos

Mata adentro quebrando taboca

Deep into the woods, breaking taboca

Vou chegando e soltando o grito

I approach and let out a yell


Sai da toca, tatu, sai da toca

Come out of your hole, armadillo, come out of your hole

Sai da toca, tatu, sai da toca

Come out of your hole, armadillo, come out of your hole

Que eu te surro com rama de mandioca

I'll beat you with a cassava stem

Pula do galho bugil pula do galho

Jump off the branch, little owl, jump off the branch

Sem medo de escorregar no orvalho

Without fear of slipping on the dew


Quando escuto a pintada esturrando

When I hear the wild turkey calling

Já vou logo virando cambota

I quickly start turning somersaults

Os cachorros tremendo de medo

The dogs trembling with fear

Aguardando a cara na palhoça

Waiting for the face in the shack

Eu vou saindo bem de fininho

I'm sneaking away very quietly

Na carreira até perco as botas

In a hurry, I even lose my boots

Bem de longe ainda solto o grito

From far away, I still let out a yell


Sai da toca, tatu, sai da toca

Come out of your hole, armadillo, come out of your hole

Que eu te surro com rama de mandioca

I'll beat you with a cassava stem

Pula do galho bugil pula do galho

Jump off the branch, little owl, jump off the branch

Sem medo de escorregar no orvalho

Without fear of slipping on the dew
