Full lyrics
Eu vim aqui pra lhe pedir dona Chiquinha
Só que eu não sei se a Senhora vai na minha
Eu lhe confesso que os motivos são demais
Peço a senhora a senhora que prenda seus animais
Prenda o cavalo, prenda a égua e a porquinha
Prenda o bode, prenda a cabra, prenda o jegue e a bacorinha
Que ainda ontem na briga dos touros
Meu galo quebrou a crista pra acudir sua galinha
Meu galo quebrou e ficou triste o coitadinho
O galo quebrou a crista pra acudir sua galinha
Já pensou, meu galo afamado
Esta de crista quebrada
Se rebola no puleiro
Não é mais pais de terreiro
Pela lei do galinheiro
Translation
I came here to ask you, Mrs. Chiquinha
But I don't know if you'll agree with me
I confess that the reasons are too many
I ask you to restrain your animals
Restrain the horse, restrain the mare and the piglet
Restrain the goat, restrain the nanny goat, restrain the donkey and the little pig
Because just yesterday in the fight of the bulls
My rooster broke his crest to help your hen
My rooster broke it and the poor thing became sad
The rooster broke his crest to help your hen
Just imagine, my famous rooster
With his crest broken
He writhes on the roost
He is no longer the father of the yard
According to the law of the henhouse
