Full lyrics

Ô Peneirou, peneirou, peneirou gavião

Nos ares para voar

Tu belisca mais não come gavião

Da massa que eu peneirar

Da massa que eu peneirar

Da massa que eu peneirar


Gavião bicho malvado

É tinhoso e aventureiro

Mas da minha fina massa

Gavião não vê o cheiro


Gavião passou voando

E na massa quis pousar

Filozinha gritou

Gavião foi-se a voar


Quem tiver sua fina massa

Não se dê por esquecido

Pois se eu deixo a minha à toa

Gavião tinha comido

Translation

Oh, the hawk hovered, hovered, hovered

In the air to fly

You peck but don't eat, hawk

From the flour that I sift

From the flour that I sift

From the flour that I sift


Hawk, wicked creature

It is cunning and adventurous

But of my fine flour

The hawk doesn't even get a whiff


The hawk flew by

And on the flour wanted to land

Filozinha screamed

The hawk flew away


Whoever has their fine flour

Should not neglect it

Because if I leave mine unattended

The hawk would have eaten it
