Full lyrics
Nosso senhor deu ao homem
Um pouquinho de seu saber
Já começou o abuso
Todo homem que fazer
Já sabe o dia que chove
Que faz sol e relampeia
Inventou luz sem pavio
Uma bichinha alumeia
Vê nos por dentro e por fora
Cura, mata e faz crescer
Agora que ir a lua
Sem nosso pai conceber
Doutor não mexa com a lua
Que o mundo pode acabar
Lá se vai carneiro gordo
Que deu trabalho pra criar
Agora que meu Brasil
Tá crescendo a galopar
Parece bezerro novo
Quando parte pra mamar
Que é que você vai à lua
Deixa a bichinha pra lá
Translation
Our Lord gave man
A little of his knowledge
The abuse has already begun
Every man wants to do it
He already knows the day it rains
When it's sunny and there's lightning
He invented light without a wick
A little thing illuminates
He sees us inside and out
Heals, kills, and makes grow
Now he wants to go to the moon
Without our father conceiving
Doctor, don't mess with the moon
Or the world might end
There goes the fat ram
That was hard to raise
Now that my Brazil
Is growing at a gallop
It looks like a new calf
When it goes to suckle
What are you going to the moon for?
Leave the little thing alone
