English Translation

Dos bugios que cantamos ao povo surge um novo contando lorotas

From the howls we sing to the people, a new one emerges telling tall tales

E trazendo na mala de viagem a bagagem de mil anedotas

And bringing in the suitcase of travel, the baggage of a thousand anecdotes

Diz que veio de um pago distante onde o diabo perdeu suas botas

Says he came from a distant land where the devil lost his boots

Dos bugios que cantamos ao povo surge um novo contando lorotas

From the howls we sing to the people, a new one emerges telling tall tales


No lugar onde posa bugio lobisomem se manda a la cria

In the place where the howler monkey settles, the werewolf heads to the young

Vaga-lume apaga o candieiro e o sol chega mais tarde no dia

The firefly extinguishes the lamp, and the sun arrives later in the day


O bugio é medonho e tinhoso, mentiroso, malandro e sapeca

The howler is frightful and tricky, a liar, sly, and mischievous

É capenga, banguela e beiçudo, orelhudo, caolho e careca

It's limping, toothless, and big-lipped, big-eared, one-eyed, and bald

É pitoco e do rabo caçoa, bicho a toa e levado da breca

It's small, and it teases with its tail, a creature at leisure and full of mischief

O bugio é medonho e tinhoso, mentiroso, malandro e sapeca

The howler is frightful and tricky, a liar, sly, and mischievous


No lugar onde posa bugio lobisomem se manda a la cria

In the place where the howler monkey settles, the werewolf heads to the young

Vaga-lume apaga o candieiro e o sol chega mais tarde no dia

The firefly extinguishes the lamp, and the sun arrives later in the day


O bugio quando vai num churrasco faz fiasco criando alvoroço

The howler, when he goes to a barbecue, creates a commotion, causing a fuss

Sapateia e vira o prato e de fato ele ronca bem grosso

He stomps and flips the plate, indeed, he snores quite loudly

Se embucha se estica e se volta mas não solta o seu beiço do osso

He stuffs himself, stretches, and turns, but doesn't let go of his lip from the bone

O bugio quando vai num churrasco faz fiasco criando alvoroço

The howler, when he goes to a barbecue, creates a commotion, causing a fuss


No lugar onde posa bugio lobisomem se manda a la cria

In the place where the howler monkey settles, the werewolf heads to the young

Vaga-lume apaga o candieiro e o sol chega mais tarde no dia

The firefly extinguishes the lamp, and the sun arrives later in the day


O bugio quando dança baileco é tareco e faz confusão

The howler, when he dances a baileco, is a troublemaker and creates confusion

Dá de mão numa guampa de canha se assanha e se para gritão

He grabs a flask of moonshine, gets excited, and becomes a loudmouth

É borracho daqueles sem rumo masca fumo e cospe no chão

He's a drunkard without direction, chews tobacco, and spits on the ground

O bugio quando dança baileco é tareco e faz confusão

The howler, when he dances a baileco, is a troublemaker and creates confusion


No lugar onde posa bugio lobisomem se manda a la cria

In the place where the howler monkey settles, the werewolf heads to the young

Vaga-lume apaga o candieiro e o sol chega mais tarde no dia

The firefly extinguishes the lamp, and the sun arrives later in the day
