Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

A muié do Juca tá corredeira

The woman of Juca is a swift one

Ela pula a cerca e pula a porteira

She jumps the fence and jumps the gate

A vida do Juca tá miorando

Juca's life is getting better

O Juca sabe e não tá importando

Juca knows, and it doesn't matter


Pra fazer cerca é o Zé Raimundo

To build a fence is Zé Raimundo

Faz muitas braças em pouco segundo

He makes many strides in a short second

Pra pau comprido buraco fundo

For long wood, a deep hole

Zé Raimundo é destemido

Zé Raimundo is fearless

Buraco fundo pra pau comprido

Deep hole for long wood


Eu e meu companheiro

Me and my companion

Nóis fumo buscar limão

We went to get lemons

Fumo na minha prima

We went to my cousin's

Não encontremo limão

Didn't find any lemons

Fumo no meu cunhado

We went to my brother-in-law's

Encontremo um limão bão

Found a good lemon

Depois da limonada

After the lemonade

Fumo na minha cunhada

We went to my sister-in-law's


O bicho que mata o homem

The creature that kills a man

Mora embaixo da saia

Lives beneath the skirt

Tem asa que nem morcego

Has wings like a bat

Tem dente que nem lacraia

Has teeth like a centipede

No meio tem uma mata

In the middle, there's a jungle

Onde o machado trabaia

Where the axe works
