Full lyrics
Já estou quase ficando de cuca lélé
De tanto passar raiva daquela mulher
Na minha casa eu tinha um canário
E tinha um papagaio sabido e bonito
Quando um cantava o outro falava
E a mulher também criava um tal de periquito
Um dia ela com raiva de mim
Vendeu meu passarinho de pena amarela
Vendeu meu papagaio que é bom falador
E lá em casa só ficou o periquito dela
Só ficou o periquito dela
Lá em casa só ficou o periquito dela
Translation
I'm almost going out of my mind
From getting so angry because of that woman
In my house I had a canary
And I had a clever and beautiful parrot
When one sang, the other spoke
And the woman also kept a parakeet
One day she, angry with me
Sold my little yellow-feathered bird
Sold my parrot, who's a good talker
And at home, only her parakeet remained
Only her parakeet remained
At home, only her parakeet remained
