Full lyrics

Eu não sei ler, Iaiá

É só você me emprestar tua cartilha

Que eu também quero aprender

(coro repete)


É um A, é um B, é um C

É um C, é um B, é um A

A cartilha te ensinou a você

Também pode me ensinar

(coro repete)


Eu também quero aprender

Escrever, ler e somar,

Subtrair e dividir,

Fazer conta de somar,

Não quero diminuir,

O bom é só multiplicar, Iaiá


Eu não sei ler, Iaiá

É só você me emprestar tua cartilha

Que eu também quero aprender

(2x)

Translation

I don't know how to read, Iaiá

You just have to lend me your primer

Because I also want to learn

(coro repete)


It's an A, it's a B, it's a C

It's a C, it's a B, it's an A

The primer taught you

It can also teach me

(coro repete)


I also want to learn

To write, read, and add,

Subtract and divide,

To do addition sums,

I don't want to diminish,

The good thing is only to multiply, Iaiá


I don't know how to read, Iaiá

You just have to lend me your primer

Because I also want to learn

(2x)
