E é assim que o sapo canta na lagoa
Sua toada improvisada em dez pés
É assim que o sapo canta na lagoa
Sua toada improvisada em dez pés
- Tião
- Oi!
- Foste?
- Fui!
- Compraste?
- Comprei!
- Pagaste?
- Paguei!
- Me diz quanto foi?
- Foi quinhentos réis
- Tião
- Oi!
- Foste?
- Fui!
- Compraste?
- Comprei!
- Pagaste?
- Paguei!
- Me diz quanto foi?
- Foi quinhentos réis
É tão gostoso morar lá na roça
Numa palhoça perto da beira do rio
É tão gostoso morar lá na roça
Numa palhoça perto da beira do rio
Quando a chuva cai o sapo fica contente
Que até alegra a gente com o seu desafio
E quando a chuva cai o sapo fica contente
Que até alegra a gente com o seu desafio
- Tião
- Oi!
- Foste?
- Fui!
- Compraste?
- Comprei!
- Pagaste?
- Paguei!
- Me diz quanto foi?
- Foi quinhentos réis
- Mas, Tião
- Oi!
- Foste?
- Fui!
- Compraste?
- Comprei!
- Pagaste?
- Paguei!
- Me diz quanto foi?
- Foi quinhentos réis
E é assim que o sapo canta na lagoa
Sua toada improvisada em dez pés
É assim que o sapo canta na lagoa
Sua toada improvisada em dez pés
- Tião
- Oi!

Numa palhoça perto da beira do rio
É tão gostoso morar lá na roça
Numa palhoça perto da beira do rio
E quando a chuva cai o sapo fica contente
Que até alegra a gente com o seu desafio

And that's how the frog sings in the lagoon
His improvised tune in ten feet

It's so nice to live there in the countryside
In a shack near the riverbank
It's so nice to live there in the countryside
In a shack near the riverbank
When the rain falls, the frog is happy
That even cheers us up with its challenge
And when the rain falls, the frog is happy
That even cheers us up with its challenge
