O Sapo No Saco Lyrics Translation in English
Rolando BoldrinPortuguese Lyrics
English Translation
E era o sapo dentro do saco
And it was the toad inside the bag
O saco cum sapo dentro
The bag with a toad inside
O sapo fazendo papo
The toad making chatter
O papo fazendo vento
The chatter creating wind
Nós agora vai falá desse noivo Zé perneta
Now let's talk about this groom José Pegleg
Era vesgo de uma perna e do oio era maneta
He was cross-eyed on one leg, and his eye was crippled
A noiva fazia mala, ele fazia maleta
The bride packed her suitcase, he packed a briefcase
A noiva tocava trompa, ele tocava trombeta
The bride played the horn, he played the trumpet
Ele escrevia de lápis, e a noiva de caneta
He wrote with a pencil, and the bride with a pen
A noiva cortava vara, ele cortava vareta
The bride cut a rod, he cut a small stick
Ela dormia no carro, e o noivo na carreta
She slept in the car, and the groom in the truck
Ela fazia carinho, e ele fazia careta
She caressed, and he grimaced
No dia do casamento, na casa do Zé Fulô
On the wedding day, at Zé Fulô's house
Agora nós vai dizer, aquilo foi um horror
Now we're going to say, that was a horror
Os dois se recolheram, logo ele se estranhou
They went to bed, soon he felt strange
Ela foi se desmanchando, ele logo se espantou
She started falling apart, he was soon amazed
Ela foi tirando um olho, depois um braço tirou
She started taking out an eye, then she took out an arm
Arrancou a cabeleira, ele aí se apavorou
She ripped off her wig, he got scared
Ela aí tirou um perna, ele ai logo gritou
Then she took out a leg, he immediately shouted
Minha filha, minha noiva, vê pra mim o que sobrou!
My daughter, my bride, see for me what's left!
