Full lyrics
Oi penerou, penerou, penerou gavião
Nos ares para voar
Tu belisca mas não come, gavião
Da massa que eu peneirar,
Da massa que eu peneirar,
Da massa que eu peneirar.
[coro: repete tudo]
Gavião, bicho malvado
É tinhoso e aventureiro
Mas da minha fina massa
Gavião não vê o cheiro.
[coro: repete refrão]
Gavião passou voando
E na massa quis pousar
Filozinha gritou
Gavião pôs-se a voar
[coro: repete refrão]
Quem tiver sua fina massa
Não se dê por esquecido
Pois se eu deixo a minha à-toa
Gavião tinha comido.
[coro: repete refrão]
Translation
Hey, the hawk hovered, hovered, hovered
In the air to fly
You peck but don't eat, hawk
From the dough that I will sift,
From the dough that I will sift,
From the dough that I will sift.
Hey, the hawk hovered, hovered, hovered
In the air to fly
You peck but don't eat, hawk
From the dough that I will sift,
From the dough that I will sift,
From the dough that I will sift.
Hawk, wicked creature
He is tricky and adventurous
But from my fine dough
The hawk won't even smell it.
But from my fine dough
The hawk won't even smell it.
The hawk flew by
And on the dough wanted to land
Filozinha shouted
The hawk took flight
Filozinha shouted
The hawk took flight
Whoever has their fine dough
Should not neglect it
For if I leave mine idly
The hawk would have eaten it.
For if I leave mine idly
The hawk would have eaten it.
