Full lyrics

Não boto a mão em buraco de tatu,

Que é muito perigoso, é preciso ter cuidado.

Lá dentro pode ter um cascavel, ou um urutu.

esperando com o bote armado.

Não bote a mão em buraco de tatu,

Que é muito perigoso, é preciso ter cuidado.


Lá no meu roçado, no meio do mandiocal

Tem muito buraco de tatu

O meu irmão que é muito enxerido

Botou a mão puxou um surucucu

Bem feito, quem foi que te mandou

Enfiar a mão no buraco do tatu, (2x).

Translation

I don't put my hand in an armadillo hole,

Because it's very dangerous, one must be careful.

Inside there might be a rattlesnake, or an urutu.

waiting with its strike ready.

Don't put your hand in an armadillo hole,

Because it's very dangerous, one must be careful.


There in my cultivated field, in the middle of the cassava field

There are many armadillo holes

My brother who is very nosy

Put his hand in, pulled out a surucucu

Serves you right, who told you

To stick your hand in the armadillo hole, (2x).
