Curupaco Lyrics Translation in English
Tetê EspíndolaPortuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Curupaco paco paco paco paco papagaio acordou e piscou
Curupaco paco paco paco paco papagaio woke up and blinked
Viu duas maracas "xique xique" chacoalhando um rock 'n' roll
Saw two "xique xique" maracas shaking a rock 'n' roll
Deu a meia-noite "tic tic tac" o cuco louco se tocou e atacou
It was midnight "tic tic tac" the crazy cuckoo realized and attacked
Hora da folia do bolero da magia, começou
Time for the revelry of the bolero of magic, it began
E pelo chão de "la cocina": maxixe, Pequim e feijão com arroz
And on the floor of "la cocina": okra, Beijing and rice and beans
Carnavalito de talheres dançando loucamente escravos de Jó
Carnavalito of utensils dancing wildly, slaves of Jó
Cha-cha-cha!
Cha-cha-cha!
Curupaco paco paco paco paco paco papagaio arrepiou, nem piscou
Curupaco paco paco paco paco paco papagaio got excited, didn't blink
Viu o violino fino afinando "do-ré-mi-fa-sol"
Saw the fine violin tuning "do-re-mi-fa-sol"
Liso, o sabonete, "zup zup zup" deslizando aterrissou e estufou
Smooth, the soap, "zup zup zup" sliding landed and puffed
Salsa, tango, mambo, samba pelas ondas do tapete
Salsa, tango, mambo, samba through the waves of the carpet
E pela casa da titia, o dia, de mansinho, raiou, oh oh
And at Auntie's house, the day, gently, dawned, oh oh
E era tanta correria que logo-logo a festa acabou
And there was so much hustle that the party soon ended
Só o galo cantou
Only the rooster crowed
