Full lyrics
Se carangueijo tivesse cabeça era inteligente demais
-Se carangueijo tivesse cabeça era inteligente demais
Olha ai ele sem cabeça faz o que a gente não faz
-Ele sem cabeça faz o que a gente não faz
Ele é tão adiantado que olha pra frente
Mas anda de lado
-Ele é tão adiantado que olha pra frente
Mas anda de lado
Olha ai mora na lama dificil de ser pegado
-Mora na lama dificil de ser pegado
Carangueijo têm sua carangueija
Carangueijo têm seu carangueijinho
-Carangueijo têm sua carangueija
Carangueijo têm seu carangueijinho
Ai ai a moda não lhe encomoda
Ele não muda da água pro vinho
-Ai ai a moda não lhe encomoda
Ele não muda da água pro vinho
Ele vive no seco, ele vive no molhado
-Ele vive no seco, ele vive no molhado
Carangueijo não tem cara
Mas é um bicho barbado
-Carangueijo não tem cara
Mas é um bicho barbado
Carangueijo têm sua carangueija
Carangueijo têm seu carangueijinho
-Carangueijo têm sua carangueija
Carangueijo têm seu carangueijinho
Minino a moda não lhe encomoda
Ele não muda da água pro vinho
-A moda não lhe encomoda
Ele não muda da água pro vinho
Translation
If a crab had a head, it would be too intelligent
-If a crab had a head, it would be too intelligent
Look, even without a head, it does what we don't do
-Even without a head, it does what we don't do
It's so advanced that it looks forward
But walks sideways
-It's so advanced that it looks forward
But walks sideways
Look, it lives in the mud, difficult to catch
-It lives in the mud, difficult to catch
A crab has its female crab
A crab has its little crab
-A crab has its female crab
A crab has its little crab
Oh oh, fashion doesn't bother it
It doesn't change from water to wine
-Oh oh, fashion doesn't bother it
It doesn't change from water to wine
It lives in the dry, it lives in the wet
-It lives in the dry, it lives in the wet
A crab has no face
But it's a bearded creature
-A crab has no face
But it's a bearded creature
A crab has its female crab
A crab has its little crab
-A crab has its female crab
A crab has its little crab
Boy, fashion doesn't bother it
It doesn't change from water to wine
-Fashion doesn't bother it
It doesn't change from water to wine
