Full lyrics

Ah! Vou dar uma volta lá na mata do sapé

Onde mora o papa-mé, o furão e a caipora

Que o gato fora de hora faz visita no poleiro


É no pé do lajeiro aonde a onça mora

É no pé do lajeiro aonde a onça mora


Mas inté minha noiva viu a carreira que eu levei

Nos caminho onde passei quase morro de gritar

Pois a danada com mania de valente

Veio inté o meu terreiro pra mode me envergonhar


É no pé do lajeiro aonde a onça mora

É no pé do lajeiro aonde a onça mora


Ah! Eu vou pegar a carabina, eu vou calçado de botina

Pra cobra não me morder que não é de hoje nem é de ontem

Que o bicho vem no terreiro pra mode me envergonhar

Mas hoje em dia quem pode ter na certeza

Nem que peça a baronesa que hoje eu vou lhe matar


É no pé do lajeiro aonde a onça mora

É no pé do lajeiro aonde a onça mora

Translation

Ah! I'm going for a walk in the sawgrass field

Where the papa-mé lives, the ferret and the forest spirit

That the cat out of hours visits the henhouse


It's at the foot of the slab where the jaguar lives

It's at the foot of the slab where the jaguar lives


But even my bride saw the run I took

On the paths where I passed I almost died screaming

Because the darned one with a brave mania

Came to my yard to embarrass me


It's at the foot of the slab where the jaguar lives

It's at the foot of the slab where the jaguar lives


Ah! I'm going to get the rifle, I'm going wearing boots

So the snake doesn't bite me, it's not from today or yesterday

That the beast comes to the yard to embarrass me

But nowadays who can be sure

Even if you ask the baroness that today I'm going to kill it


It's at the foot of the slab where the jaguar lives

It's at the foot of the slab where the jaguar lives
