Xô, xô, xô, xô
Casaca-de-couro
Cantando as duas na teia (telha)
Cantando as duas na teia (telha)
Xô, xô, xô, xô
Casaca-de-couro
Cantando as duas na teia (telha)
Cantando as duas na teia (telha)
Parece um arapuá
Cheio de vara e algodão
O ninho de uma casaca
Não parece ninho não
Parece mais os parceiros
Dos "pajaú" do sertão
Xô, xô, xô, xô
Casaca-de-couro
Cantando as duas na teia (telha)
Cantando as duas na teia (telha)
Xô, xô, xô, xô
Casaca-de-couro
Cantando as duas na teia (telha)
Cantando as duas na teia (telha)
Em riba do pé de turco
Tem um ninho de graveto
Tem garrancho de jurema
Tem pau branco, tem pau preto
Tem lenha que dá pra facho
Tem vara que dá espeto
Xô, xô, xô, xô
Casaca-de-couro
Cantando as duas na teia (telha)
Cantando as duas na teia (telha)
Xô, xô, xô, xô
Casaca-de-couro
Cantando as duas na teia (telha)
Cantando as duas na teia (telha)
Uma grita, outra responde
Uma baixa, outra também
Parece mulher pilando
Pro mode fazer xerém
Subindo e descendo as asas
Como o seio do meu bem
Xô, xô, xô, xô
Casaca-de-couro
Cantando as duas na teia (telha)
Cantando as duas na teia (telha)
Xô, xô, xô, xô
Casaca-de-couro
Cantando as duas na teia (telha)
Cantando as duas na teia (telha)
Eu nunca vi desafio
Mais bonito, mais iguá
Duas casacas-de-couro
Quando começa a cantar
Parece dois violeiros
Num galope à beira-mar
Uma grita, outra responde
Uma baixa, outra também
Parece mulher pilando
Pro mode fazer xerém
Subindo e descendo as asas
Como o seio do meu bem
Xô, xô, xô, xô
Casaca-de-couro
Cantando as duas na teia (telha)
Cantando as duas na teia (telha)
Xô, xô, xô, xô
Casaca-de-couro
Cantando as duas na teia (telha)
Cantando as duas na teia (telha)
Translation
Shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo
Casaca-de-couro
The two singing on the roof tile
The two singing on the roof tile
Shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo
Casaca-de-couro
The two singing on the roof tile
The two singing on the roof tile
It looks like an arapuá
Full of sticks and cotton
The nest of a casaca
Doesn't look like a nest at all
It looks more like the partners
Of the "pajaú" of the sertão
Shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo
Casaca-de-couro
The two singing on the roof tile
The two singing on the roof tile
Shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo
Casaca-de-couro
The two singing on the roof tile
The two singing on the roof tile
On top of the pé de turco
There's a nest of twigs
There are jurema branches
There's white wood, there's black wood
There's firewood that serves as a torch
There are sticks that serve as skewers
Shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo
Casaca-de-couro
The two singing on the roof tile
The two singing on the roof tile
Shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo
Casaca-de-couro
The two singing on the roof tile
The two singing on the roof tile
One shouts, the other responds
One lowers, the other too
It looks like a woman pounding
In order to make xerém
Going up and down with their wings
Like the bosom of my darling
Shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo
Casaca-de-couro
The two singing on the roof tile
The two singing on the roof tile
Shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo
Casaca-de-couro
The two singing on the roof tile
The two singing on the roof tile
I've never seen a challenge
More beautiful, more evenly matched
Two casacas-de-couro
When they start to sing
They look like two violeiros
In a gallop by the seashore
One shouts, the other responds
One lowers, the other too
It looks like a woman pounding
In order to make xerém
Going up and down with their wings
Like the bosom of my darling
Shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo
Casaca-de-couro
The two singing on the roof tile
The two singing on the roof tile
Shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo
Casaca-de-couro
The two singing on the roof tile
The two singing on the roof tile
