Full lyrics
Ser mal com o vizinho é a pior coisa que tem
A melhor coisa que tem é com vizinhos se dar bem
Eu criava em um viveiro uma mimosa pomba rola
E dona Lola tinha uma piriquitinha
O meu guri um dia batendo bola
Bola bateu na gaiola sem querer lá da vizinha
Ai danou-se e foi briga pra mais de um mês
Eu quis pagar a periquita e sabe o que a vizinha fez
Foi no viveiro e dona Lola trouxe a rola
Enforcou a rola até não mais querer
Pois água pra ferver e botou a rola dentro
Temperou rola com coentro pra depois comer
Fui resolver com todo mundo no distrito
Nem rola nem periquito, nem eu nem ela vai ter
Translation
Being bad to your neighbor is the worst thing there is
The best thing there is is to get along well with neighbors
I raised in an aviary a pretty turtledove
And dona Lola had a little parakeet
My boy one day playing ball
The ball hit the cage by accident at the neighbor's house
Oh, it got messed up and it was a fight for over a month
I wanted to pay for the parakeet and guess what the neighbor did
She went to the aviary and dona Lola brought the turtledove
She strangled the turtledove until it was no more
Then she put water to boil and put the turtledove inside
She seasoned the turtledove with cilantro to eat later
I went to resolve it with everyone in the district
Neither turtledove nor parakeet, neither I nor she will have
