Full lyrics
Cho gavião vai embora pro sertão
Aqui no meu terreiro tu não pega pinto não
Gavião bicho malvado
Com instinto de chacal
Vai levar um tiro certo
E depois entrar no sal
Minha avó criava um pinto
Com a maior estimação
Quando estava bom de faca
Deu de graça ao gavião
Translation
Shoo, hawk, go away to the sertão
Here in my yard you won't catch any chick
Hawk, wicked creature
With a jackal's instinct
You'll take a sure shot
And then end up in salt
My grandmother raised a chick
With the greatest affection
When it was ready for the knife
She gave it for free to the hawk
