Minha vizinha
Tinha um galo pequenino
Era ladino aquele galo garnizé
Eu sem querer
Pisei no pé de uma galinha
Ele cantou quéquéréqué
E beliscou-me aqui no pé
Com a vizinha
Muito tempo que não falo
Peguei o galo
E a vizinha nem deu fé
E se a vizinha reclamar
Qualquer coisinha
Vou pegar minha faquinha
E vou matar o garnizé
Eu não me conformei
Com tal situação
Peguei o garnizé
Cortei-lhe o esporão
Agarrei o bichinho
E amarrei pelo pé
Ele deu um pulinho
E fez quéquéréqué
Quéqué } bis
Ninguém entra no galinheiro
No poleiro ninguém põe o pé
O rei do terreiro
É o garnizé
Translation
My neighbor
Had a tiny rooster
That garnizé rooster was cunning
Without meaning to
I stepped on a hen's foot
He crowed quéquéréqué
And pecked me here on the foot
With the neighbor
I haven't spoken for a long time
I took the rooster
And the neighbor didn't even notice
And if the neighbor complains
About anything at all
I'll get my little knife
And I'll kill the garnizé
I didn't put up with
Such a situation
I took the garnizé
I cut off its spur
I grabbed the little creature
And tied it by the foot
It gave a little jump
And went quéquéréqué
Quéqué } bis
No one enters the chicken coop
No one sets foot on the roost
The king of the yard
Is the garnizé
