Full lyrics
Eu tinha um passarinho preso na gaiola
o bicho não cantava e nem dava bola
vivia cochilando e falando acurau
um dia de repente ficou feliz
vou contar agora o que aconteceu
não sei por que motivo a gaiola abriu
e o meu passarinho fugiu, cantando assim:
Piu piu piu piu piu piu piu piu
Meu passarinho da gaiola fugiu (2x)
A felicidade um dia chegou
e uma namorada ele arranjou
o sabor do amor o bicho sentiu
quando da gaiola fugiu, cantando assim:
Piu piu piu piu piu piu piu piu
Meu passarinho da gaiola fugiu (2x)
Translation
I had a little bird trapped in a cage
the creature didn't sing and didn't care
it lived dozing and talking acurau
one day suddenly it became happy
I will tell now what happened
I don't know for what reason the cage opened
and my little bird fled, singing like this:
Chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp
My little bird escaped from the cage (2x)
Happiness arrived one day
and he found a girlfriend
the creature felt the taste of love
when it fled from the cage, singing like this:
Chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp
My little bird escaped from the cage (2x)
