Ai, o que será?
Tenho prantado' muita couve no quintal
Ai, o que será?
Feijão com couve, que talento pode dar?
A-a-a-ai, o que será?
Tenho prantado' muita couve no quintal
Ai, o que será?
Feijão com couve, que talento pode dar?
Cadê a banha pra panela refogar?
Cadê açúcar pro café açucarar?
Cadê manteiga, leite e pão, onde é que tá?
Cadê o lombo, cadê carne de jabá?
Já tô cansado de escutar o doutor falar
Que qualquer dia, as coisa' tem que miorá'
Sem alimento não se pode trabaiá', por que será?
Feijão com couve, que talento pode dar?
Ai, o que será?
Tenho prantado' muita couve no quintal
Ai, o que será?
Feijão com couve, que talento pode dar?
A-a-a-ai, o que será?
Tenho prantado' muita couve no quintal
Ai, o que será?
Feijão com couve, que talento pode dar?
Cadê a banha pra panela refogar?
Cadê açúcar pro café açucarar?
Cadê manteiga, leite e pão, onde é que tá?
Cadê o lombo, cadê carne de jabá?
Já tô cansado de escutar o doutor falar
Que qualquer dia, as coisa' tem que miorá'
Sem alimento não se pode trabaiá', por que será?
Feijão com couve, que talento pode dar?
Ai, o que será?
Tenho prantado' muita couve no quintal
Ai, o que será?
Feijão com couve, que talento pode dar?
A-a-a-ai, o que será?
Tenho prantado' muita couve no quintal
Ai, o que será?
Feijão com couve, que talento pode dar?
Feijão com couve, que talento pode dar?
A-a-a-ai, o que será?
Tenho prantado' muita couve no quintal
Ai, o que será?
Feijão com couve, que talento pode dar?
A-a-a-ai, o que será?
Tenho prantado' muita couve no quintal
Ai, o que será?
Feijão com couve, que talento pode dar? (Opa!)
Translation
Oh, what will it be?
I've planted a lot of kale in the yard
Oh, what will it be?
Beans with kale, what talent can it give?
A-a-a-oh, what will it be?
I've planted a lot of kale in the yard
Oh, what will it be?
Beans with kale, what talent can it give?
Where's the lard to sauté in the pan?
Where's the sugar to sweeten the coffee?
Where's the butter, milk, and bread, where is it?
Where's the pork loin, where's the dried beef?
I'm tired of listening to the doctor say
That any day now, things have to get better
Without food, you can't work, why is that?
Beans with kale, what talent can it give?
Oh, what will it be?
I've planted a lot of kale in the yard
Oh, what will it be?
Beans with kale, what talent can it give?
A-a-a-oh, what will it be?
I've planted a lot of kale in the yard
Oh, what will it be?
Beans with kale, what talent can it give?
Where's the lard to sauté in the pan?
Where's the sugar to sweeten the coffee?
