Full lyrics

Quem é que faz de menino se vier te pegar

A natureza lhe deu um chicote pra açoitar

Mora no juazeiro no meio do roçado

Ele não é carpinteiro, mas tem serrote amolado


Bicho do mato


Tem tempo que ele é verde outro amarelado

A terra estando quente ele anda disparado

Também muda de cor quando esta enfezado

Primo do dinossauro o bicho é gigantado


Bicho do mato


Tem bicho no mato

Tem bicho no chão tem

Tem bicho lá no palco

Isso é camaleão

O camaleão é um bicho destemido

Quando esta enfurecido

Briga mais do que um cão


Bicho do Mato


Bicho camaleão

Bate no inicio e pega no rabo

Translation

Who makes a boy into a man if it comes to get you

Nature gave it a whip to lash

It lives in the juazeiro tree in the middle of the cultivated field

It's not a carpenter, but it has a sharpened saw


Creature of the wild


Sometimes it's green, other times yellowish

When the ground is hot it runs off quickly

It also changes color when it's angry

Cousin of the dinosaur, the creature is gigantic


Creature of the wild


There's a creature in the bush

There's a creature on the ground

There's a creature on the stage

That's a chameleon

The chameleon is a fearless creature

When it's enraged

It fights more than a dog


Creature of the wild


Chameleon creature

It strikes at the beginning and grabs the tail
