Catar Cavaco

Se ligue, Chica

Pay attention, Chica

Ô, Benedito

Oh, Benedito

Eu tenho dito

I have said

Eu não me canso

I don't get tired

De cantar pro periquito

Of singing for the parakeet

Se ligue, Chica

Pay attention, Chica

Se ligue, Chica

Pay attention, Chica

Adeus panelona de feijão

Goodbye, big pot of beans

Eu vou rasgar lona no caminhão

I'll tear up the canvas on the truck

E levar minha nega

And take my darling

Que pra lá ela chega

Because she arrives there

Chega de fogão

No more stove

Eu vou ali catar cavavo

I'm going there to pick up splinters

Eu vou ali catar cavaco

I'm going there to pick up wood chips

Eu vou lhe dar aquele abraço

I'm going to give you that hug

Eu vou lhe dar aquele abraço

I'm going to give you that hug

Se ligue, Chica

Pay attention, Chica

Se ligue, Chica

Pay attention, Chica

Ô, Benedito

Oh, Benedito

Eu tenho dito

I have said

Eu não me canso

I don't get tired

De cantar pro periquito

Of singing for the parakeet
