Full lyrics

Aruá aruá, Aruárue

Quem me faz de aruá, é aruá e meio


Você pensava que iria me acabar

Com seu jeito bandoleiro dizendo pra me matar

Pois enganou-se que quem engana com ganância

Engana tanto que cansa que termina a se enganar


Qua, qua, qua vai aruando por ai ate as coisas melhorar

Qua qua qua, enquanto você padece eu vou vivendo a gargalhar

Translation

Aruá aruá, Aruárue

Who makes me an aruá, is an aruá and a half


You thought you would finish me off

With your bandit-like way, saying you'd kill me

Well, you were mistaken, for whoever deceives with greed

Deceives so much they get tired and end up deceiving themselves


Qua, qua, qua goes aruando around until things get better

Qua qua qua, while you suffer I will keep living, laughing heartily
