Eu quero um ovo de codorna pra comer
O meu problema ele tem que resolver
Eu quero um ovo de codorna pra comer
O meu problema ele tem que resolver
Eu tô madurão passei da flor da idade
Mas ainda tenho alguma mocidade
Vou cuidar de mim pra não acontecer
Vou comprar ovo de codorna pra comer
Eu quero um ovo de codorna pra comer
O meu problema ele tem que resolver
Eu quero um ovo de codorna pra comer
O meu problema ele tem que resolver
Eu já procurei um doutor meu amigo
Ele me falou pode contar comigo
Ele me ensinou e eu passo pra você
Vou lhe dar ovo de codorna pra comer
Eu quero um ovo de codorna pra comer
O meu problema ele tem que resolver
Eu quero um ovo de codorna pra comer
O meu problema ele tem que resolver
Eu andava triste quase apavorado
Estavam me fazendo de um pobre coitado
Minha companheira tá feliz porque, hum
Eu comprei ovo de codorna pra comer
Eu quero um ovo de codorna pra comer
O meu problema ele tem que resolver
Eu quero um ovo de codorna pra comer
O meu problema ele tem que resolver
Eu tô madurão passei da flor da idade
Mas ainda tenho alguma mocidade
Vou cuidar de mim pra não acontecer
Vou comprar ovo de codorna pra comer
Eu quero um ovo de codorna pra comer
O meu problema ele tem que resolver
Eu quero um ovo de codorna pra comer
O meu problema ele tem que resolver
Translation
I want a quail egg to eat
It has to solve my problem
I want a quail egg to eat
It has to solve my problem
I'm quite mature, I'm past the prime of my age
But I still have some youth
I'll take care of myself so it doesn't happen
I'm going to buy quail eggs to eat
I want a quail egg to eat
It has to solve my problem
I want a quail egg to eat
It has to solve my problem
I already looked for a doctor, my friend
He told me 'you can count on me'
He taught me, and I'll pass it on to you
I'm going to give you quail eggs to eat
I want a quail egg to eat
It has to solve my problem
I want a quail egg to eat
It has to solve my problem
I was sad, almost terrified
They were making me out to be a poor wretch
My companion is happy because, hmm
I bought quail eggs to eat
I want a quail egg to eat
It has to solve my problem
I want a quail egg to eat
It has to solve my problem
I'm quite mature, I'm past the prime of my age
But I still have some youth
I'll take care of myself so it doesn't happen
I'm going to buy quail eggs to eat
I want a quail egg to eat
It has to solve my problem
I want a quail egg to eat
It has to solve my problem
