The Chicken

[introduction]
Donkey: Is it over?
Calm down, buddy,
I'm not your boss.

Dog: What do you mean?
Your excellency, don't you want to be my boss?

Donkey: Oh, come on,
I'm just a poor fellow like you
I'm a 'pau-de-arara'.

Dog: Yes, Mr. 'pau-de-arara',
At your service. How can I help you?
Where do you want me to take you?

Donkey: Don't take me anywhere, boy.
I'm going to the city. I'm going to look for a job as a musician.
Are you coming too?

Dog: Yes, Mr. 'pau-de-arara'.

Donkey: We can do a duo.
Two animals singing together, can you imagine!
I think it will be a sensation.

Chicken: Cock-a-doodle-doo,
three animals singing together
I think it's even more fantastic.
Will you take me too?

Donkey: What? A chicken?

Dog: Good morning, your chick-ness!

Chicken: Cluck-cluck how are you cluck-companions?

Donkey: I've seen it all, you ran away too, right?

Chicken: Of course!

Dog and Donkey: Why?

Chicken: I can't lay eggs anymore.

[music]
Every egg
That I hatch
I realize
Again
Every egg
Is the face
Is the white
Of grandpa

But I got
Blocked
And now
At night
I only dream
Of eggnog

The scarce production
Alarms the boss
The serious hens
Never take vacations
'You're old, I forgive you
You stay in the coop
In the form of soup'

Ah!!! Is this my reward
For years of hatching???
I pecked him
And ran away, shocked

I want to sing
In the round
On the crest
Of the wave

Because one more beak
Just makes happier
The big cage
Of my country

[after]
Donkey: Well, since you want to be a singer,
you can join our band.
After all, for a chicken, you're quite...
Well, you're... quite fetching, right Dog?

Dog: Very fetching, your chicken-ness

Chicken: Thank you. Let's go then.
