Dente de Ouro
Se eu tivesse um dente de ouro
Eu mandava tirar pra viver
Eu mandava encruzar e benzer
Eu mandava entregar pra Gegê
Se eu tivesse uma vida comprida - ai, ai!
Eu seria no fundo um besouro
Teria no escuro da ilha
Enterrado um bonito tesouro
Se eu tivesse um dente de ouro
Eu mandava tirar pra viver
Eu mandava encruzar e benzer
Eu mandava entregar pra Gegê
Se eu tivesse no peito um novelo - ai, ai!
Eu tecia com ele um caminho
Com o rumo voltado pra dentro
E aberto pro mundo todinho
Se eu tivesse um dente de ouro
Eu mandava tirar pra viver
Eu mandava encruzar e benzer
Eu mandava entregar pra Gegê
Se eu tivesse um rosário de pena - ai, ai!
Eu andava com ele no dente
Só guardava no fundo do poço
Do outro lado da gente
Se eu tivesse um dente de ouro
Eu mandava tirar pra viver
Eu mandava encruzar e benzer
Eu mandava entregar pra Gegê
Eu mandava encruzar e benzer
Eu mandava entregar pra Gegê
Gold Tooth
If I had a gold tooth
I would have it removed to live
I would have it crossed and blessed
I would have it delivered to Gegê
If I had a long life - oh, oh!
I would ultimately be a beetle
I would have a beautiful treasure
Buried in the dark of the island
If I had a gold tooth
I would have it removed to live
I would have it crossed and blessed
I would have it delivered to Gegê
If I had a ball of yarn in my chest - oh, oh!
I would weave a path with it
With the direction turned inward
And open to the whole world
If I had a gold tooth
I would have it removed to live
I would have it crossed and blessed
I would have it delivered to Gegê
If I had a rosary of feathers - oh, oh!
I would walk with it in my tooth
I would only keep it at the bottom of the well
On the other side of us
If I had a gold tooth
I would have it removed to live
I would have it crossed and blessed
I would have it delivered to Gegê
I would have it crossed and blessed
I would have it delivered to Gegê
