English Translation

Certa vez de montaria

Once on horseback

Eu descia o Paraná

I was going down the Paraná

O caboclo que remava

The caboclo who rowed

Não parava de falar, ah, ah

Didn't stop talking, ah, ah

Não parava de falar, ah, ah

Didn't stop talking, ah, ah

Que caboclo falador

What a talkative caboclo


Me contou do lobisomi

He told me about the werewolf

Da mãe-d'água, do tajá

About the mother of the waters, about the tajá

Disse jurutaí

Said jurutaí

Que se ri pro luar, ah, ah

Who laughs at the moonlight, ah, ah

Que se ri pro luar, ah, ah

Who laughs at the moonlight, ah, ah

Que caboclo falador!

What a talkative caboclo!


Que mangava de visagem

Making fun of apparitions

Que matou surucucú

He killed a surucucu

E jurou com pavulagem

And swore with bravado

Que pegou uirapuru, ah, ah

That he caught a uirapuru, ah, ah

Que pegou uirapuru, ah, ah

That he caught a uirapuru, ah, ah

Que caboclo tentadô

What a tempting caboclo


Caboclinho, meu amor

Little caboclo, my love

Arranja um pra mim

Get one for me

Ando roxo pra pegar

I'm itching to catch

Unzinho assim

One like that


O diabo foi-se embora

The devil went away

Não quis me dar

Didn't want to give it to me

Vou juntar meu dinheirinho

I'll save my little money

Pra poder comprar

So I can buy it


Mas no dia que eu comprar

But on the day I buy it

O caboclo vai sofrer

The caboclo will suffer

Eu vou desassossegar

I'll unsettle

O seu bem querer, ah, ah

Your sweetheart, ah, ah

O seu bem querer, ah, ah

Your sweetheart, ah, ah

Ora deixa ele pra lá

Just leave him be
