English Translation

O rato roeu a ropa do rei de Roma

The mouse gnawed the clothes of the king of Rome

O sapo saltou do saco

The toad jumped out of the sack

Se sacudiu e sumiu da soma

Shook itself and vanished from the sum


Tatu, tamanduá, tejubina

Armadillo, anteater, tejubina

Transaram umas trovas

Exchanged some verses

Tolices totais

Total nonsense

O vento da vida ventou

The wind of life blew

E varreu você pro nunca mais

And swept you away to never again


O gato do mato, passando prato

The wild cat, passing by the dish

Ai que barato

Oh, how cool

Cachorro pedindo socorro

Dog begging for help

Na rampa do morro

On the hillside ramp

E gritando que é zorro

And yelling that it's Zorro


Um pinto muito distinto

A very distinguished chick

Tomando abissinto

Taking absinthe

Em pleno recinto, e o rastro do vento

In the middle of the room, and the trace of the wind

Puxando pra dentro, do meio de centro

Pulling inside, from the center

Do nunca mais

Of never again
