Full lyrics

Já viajei mundo afora

Já conheci meu país

Coleciono agora

As coisas que o povo diz


Se o galo canta lá fora

Eu acho que tá feliz

Mas se é fora de hora

Dizem que ele prediz


Que na mata escura assobia a caipora

Que coruja a noite sempre apavora

Vassoura atras da port, agente vi embora

Que quando é lua cheia o lobisomen adora


E eu prefiro anunciar

Que é tudo cultura popular


Debaixo da escada tem muito azar

Quem vê um gato preto vai se atrasar

Mulher que conseguir um dia atravessar

A sombra do arco-iris, homem vai virar

Translation

I've traveled the world over

I've known my country

Now I collect

The things people say


If the rooster crows outside

I think it's happy

But if it's out of hour

They say it foretells


That in the dark forest the Caipora whistles

That the owl at night always frightens

A broom behind the door, makes people leave

That when it's a full moon the werewolf loves it


And I prefer to announce

That it's all popular culture


Under the ladder there's much bad luck

Whoever sees a black cat will be delayed

A woman who one day manages to cross

The shadow of the rainbow, will turn into a man
