Full lyrics

Passei um dia pela sombra da aroeira

Mas que árvore traiçoeira, veja em que eu fui me meter

Fiquei dez dias numa baita comichão

Corpo emzambuado desde o imbigo até o dedão


Desde esse dia, nunca mais entrei no mato

Prefiro carrapato a ter de novo a coçação


Desde esse dia, nunca mais entrei no mato

Prefiro carrapato a ter de novo a coçação


Pois teu amor comicha mais que aroeira

Vou fazer uma benzedura pra ele não me comichar

Faço uma cruz com três raminhos de alecrim

E antes que chegue no tempo, teu amor não coça em mim


Coça que coça, coça, coça, comichão

Vai coçar pra outras banda e deixa em paz meu coração


Coça que coça, coça, coça, comichão

Vai coçar pra outras banda e deixa em paz meu coração


Nós semos moço, temos a vida pela frente

Não faz mal que se a gente perde um pouco a esperar

Quando der jeito a gente ajeita um ranchinho

E junta o padre com os padrinhos sai da igreja e vai pra lá


E eu te coço, e tu me coça, e se coçemu

Eu grito: num se assustemo, General Onório Lemu

E eu te coço, e tu me coça, e se coçemu

Eu grito: num se assustemo, General Onório Lemu

Translation

I spent a day in the shade of the aroeira

But what a treacherous tree, see what I got myself into

I was ten days with a huge itch

Body irritated from the navel to the big toe


Since that day, I never went into the bush again

I prefer ticks to having the itching again


Since that day, I never went into the bush again

I prefer ticks to having the itching again


Because your love itches more than aroeira

I'm going to make a blessing so it doesn't itch me

I make a cross with three sprigs of rosemary

And before its time comes, your love won't itch me


Itch, itch, itch, itch, itching

Go itch somewhere else and leave my heart in peace


Itch, itch, itch, itch, itching

Go itch somewhere else and leave my heart in peace


We are young, we have life ahead of us

It's okay if we wait a little

When things work out we'll fix up a little ranch

And gather the priest with the godparents, leave the church and go there


And I itch you, and you itch me, and we itch

I shout: let's not be scared, General Onório Lemu

And I itch you, and you itch me, and we itch

I shout: let's not be scared, General Onório Lemu
