Full lyrics
Essa nega tem, tem um grilo na moringa, eu sei que tem
Tem, que eu vi o pó do grilo subir.
(Coro repete)
Eu vi a nega Maria,
Jogando pó do gato preto em meu caminho.
(Coro repete)
Essa nega tem, tem um grilo na moringa, eu sei que tem
Tem, que eu vi o pó do grilo subir.
(Coro repete)
Ó, nega feiticeira,
Dou-te uma surra com cipó de aroeira.
Translation
This woman has, has a bee in her bonnet, I know she does
She does, for I saw the cricket's dust rise.
This woman has, has a bee in her bonnet, I know she does
She does, for I saw the cricket's dust rise.
I saw that woman Maria,
Throwing black cat powder on my path.
This woman has, has a bee in her bonnet, I know she does
She does, for I saw the cricket's dust rise.
This woman has, has a bee in her bonnet, I know she does
She does, for I saw the cricket's dust rise.
This woman has, has a bee in her bonnet, I know she does
She does, for I saw the cricket's dust rise.
Oh, you witchy woman,
I'll give you a thrashing with an aroeira vine.
