Full lyrics

Índio casou com a branca

E foi morar lá na cidade

Lua de mel tudo bem

Índio beijo a vontade

Mais na hora do almoço

Começou a confusão

Índio foi logo dizendo

"Índio quer comer feijão"


Comer feijão

Comer feijão

Índio foi logo dizendo

"Índio quer comer feijão"


A mulher desesperada

Procurou sem encontrar

Um quilinho de feijão

Para o índio acalmar

O dono do armazém

Disse não tem jeito não

Tem que ser milionário

Se quiser comer feijão


Índio fez greve de fome

Logo quis separação

Acabou seu casamento

Só por causa do feijão

Pegou...

Se mandou pro Maranhão

Índio ta fazendo guerra

Porque quer comer feijão

Translation

The Indian married the white woman

And went to live in the city

Honeymoon all good

Indian kiss at will

But at lunchtime

The confusion began

The Indian was quick to say

"Indian wants to eat beans"


Eat beans

Eat beans

The Indian was quick to say

"Indian wants to eat beans"


The woman desperate

Searched without finding

A kilo of beans

To calm the Indian

The store owner

Said there's no way

You have to be a millionaire

If you want to eat beans


The Indian went on a hunger strike

Soon wanted a separation

His marriage ended

Just because of the beans

He took...

He took off to Maranhão

The Indian is waging war

Because he wants to eat beans
