Full lyrics
A Maria foi beber água
Embaixo do bebedouro
Quando subiu a ladeira
Fez uma cara de choro
Porque viu timó
Se assustou quebrou o pote
Porque viu timo
Se assustou quebrou o pote
Maria chegou em casa já toda molhada
A barra da sua saia era lama só
Falou pra vovó e disse pra Marieta
Eu nunca vi tanta careta numa cara só
Eu nunca vi tanta careta numa cara só
Timóteo com sua cara, sua venta de arara
Seu pescoço de socó e o seu dente de dragão
Seu cabelão que terrível assombração
E com a careta dele Maria caiu no chão
Translation
Maria went to drink water
Underneath the drinking fountain
When she climbed the hill
She made a crying face
Because she saw Timó
She got scared and broke the pot
Because she saw Timó
She got scared and broke the pot
Maria arrived home all wet
The hem of her skirt was all mud
She told grandma and said to Marieta
I've never seen so many faces on one face
I've never seen so many faces on one face
Timóteo with his face, his macaw's nostril
His heron's neck and his dragon's tooth
His long hair, what a terrible haunting
And with his face Maria fell to the ground
