Full lyrics

Esse é menino é todo desajeitado

Tudo que faz dá errado e não tem jeito de acertar

Ele não gosta de brinquedo masculino

Tudo dele é feminino até o modo de falar

Ele ganhou um revolverzinho e disse não

Não gostou do avião, canivete ele não quer

Ele só gosta de brincar de arrumadeira, cozinheira

E copeira, vestidinho de mulher


Ele brinca de boneca

Ele ama a boneca

Ele beija a boneca

E ele adora uma boneca


Esse menino abestado, bonequeiro

Vai morar no estrangeiro para não me chatear

Se ele quiser carregar sua boneca

Pode ate levar a breca que eu não vou me incomodar

Translation

That boy is all clumsy

Everything he does goes wrong and there's no way to get it right

He doesn't like masculine toys

Everything about him is feminine, even the way he speaks

He got a little revolver and said no

Didn't like the plane, doesn't want a pocketknife

He only likes to play housemaid, cook

And waitress, in a woman's dress


He plays with a doll

He loves the doll

He kisses the doll

And he loves a doll


That silly, doll-loving boy

Will go live abroad so he doesn't bother me

If he wants to carry his doll

He can even go to hell, I won't mind
