O Gigante

Once upon a time there was a giantEra uma vez um gigante
Who liked to walkQue gostava de caminhar
But his stride was so bigMas a sua passada era tão grande
What a step and a halfQue um passo e meio
It was a walkEra um passeio
To the top of the Andes peakAo topo do pico dos Andes

Once upon a time there was a giantEra uma vez um gigante
The giant of the great stepO gigante do passo grande
Which was huge in name tooQue era enorme também no nome

Once upon a time there was a giantEra uma vez um gigante
The giant with the big step, with the huge nameO gigante do passo grande, do nome enorme
That had the belly of an elephantQue tinha a barriga de um elefante
Your plate would feed twenty menSeu prato daria pra vinte homens
I devoured lunchDevorava o almoço
swallowed stoneEngolia caroço
And I was still hungryE ainda ficava com fome

Once upon a time there was a giantEra uma vez um gigante
The giant of the great stepO gigante do passo grande
From the huge name, from the elephant bellyDo nome enorme, da barriga de elefante
That when he slept, he snored a lotQue quando dormia, roncava um monte
So loud, it sounded like it was plugged into a speakerTão alto, que até parecia ligado em um alto-falante
The ground was shakingTremia o chão
Thunder tremorTremor de trovão
A not at all elegant snoreUm ronco nem um pouco elegante

Once upon a time there was a giantEra uma vez um gigante
The giant of the great stepO gigante do passo grande
From the huge name, from the elephant bellyDo nome enorme, da barriga de elefante
From the roar of the speakerDo ronco de alto-falante
Who had such a huge noseQue tinha um nariz assim imenso
And inside there were goops that wouldn't even fit on one fingerE lá dentro melecas que nem cabiam num dedo
Your sneezeO seu espirro
It was like a shotEra como um tiro
Handkerchiefs were scared to deathOs lencinhos morriam de medo

Once upon a time there was a giantEra uma vez um gigante
The giant with the big step, with the huge nameO gigante do passo grande, do nome enorme
From the belly of an elephant, from the roar of a loudspeakerDa barriga de elefante, do ronco de alto-falante
From the sneeze that was scaryDo espirro que dava medo
