Gavião Calçudo

Bald Hawk

Gavião Calçudo

I cried, becauseChorei, porque
I was left without my loveFiquei sem meu amor
The wicked hawkO gavião malvado
Flapped its wings and took her away,Bateu asa foi com ela,
And left meE me deixou

Whoever has a beautiful womanQuem tiver mulher bonita
Hide her from the hawkEsconda do gavião
It has long nailsEle tem unha comprida
Leaves husbands in the lurchDeixa os marido na mão
But long live the single ones!Mas viva quem é solteiro!
No love or passionNão tem amor nem paixão
But you who are married,Mas vocês que são casado,
Beware of the Hawk!Cuidado com o Gavião!

I cried, becauseChorei, porque
I was left without my loveFiquei sem meu amor
The wicked hawkO gavião malvado
Flapped its wings and took her away,Bateu asa foi com ela,
And left meE me deixou

The culprit of all this isO culpado disso tudo é
The current husband, the wifeO marido de agora, a muié
Walking on the street with her shins exposed!Anda na rua com as canelas de fora!
Hawk catching a scent,Gavião tomando cheiro,
Comes down without delayVem descendo sem demora
Grabs the woman by the beak,Pega muié pelo bico,
Flaps its wings and flies away!Bate asa e vai imbora!
