Boca de Sapo
Costurou na boca do sapo
um resto de angu
A sobra do prato que o pato deixou.
Depois deu de rir feito Exu Caveira:
marido infiel vai levar rasteira. Bis
E amarrou as pernas do sapo
com a guia de vidro
que ele pensava que tinha perdido.
Depois deu de rir feito Exu Caveira:
marido infiel vai levar rasteira. Bis
Tu tá branco, Honorato, que nem cal,
murcho feito o sapo, Honorato,
no quintal.
Do teu riso, Honorato, nem sinal.
Se o sapo dança, Honorato,
tu, babau.
Definhou e acordou com um sonho
contando a mandinga,
e falou pra doida: meu santo me vinga.
Mas ela se riu feito Exu Caveira:
marido infiel vai levar rasteira. Bis
E implorou: "Patroa, perdoa.
Eu quero viver.
Afasta meus olhos de Obaluaiê".
Mas ela se riu feito Exu Caveira:
marido infiel vai levar rasteira. Bis
Tás virando, Honorato, varapau,
seco feito o sapo, Honorato,
no quintal.
Figa, reza, Honorato, o escambau.
nada salva o sapo, Honorato,
Desse mal
Toad's Mouth
Sewed up in the toad's mouth
A leftover of mush
The scraps from the plate that the duck left behind.
Then laughed like Exu Caveira:
An unfaithful husband is gonna get tripped up. Repeat
And tied the toad's legs
With a glass string
That he thought he had lost.
Then laughed like Exu Caveira:
An unfaithful husband is gonna get tripped up. Repeat
You look pale, Honorato, like chalk,
Wilted like the toad, Honorato,
In the yard.
Not a sign of your laughter, Honorato.
If the toad dances, Honorato,
You’re out of luck.
He withered and woke up from a dream
Telling the trick,
And said to the crazy lady: my saint avenges me.
But she laughed like Exu Caveira:
An unfaithful husband is gonna get tripped up. Repeat
And begged: "Boss, forgive me.
I want to live.
Keep my eyes away from Obaluaiê."
But she laughed like Exu Caveira:
An unfaithful husband is gonna get tripped up. Repeat
You’re turning into a stick, Honorato,
Dry like the toad, Honorato,
In the yard.
Pray, Honorato, what the hell.
Nothing saves the toad, Honorato,
From this curse.
