Full lyrics

Meu pai é um homem bom


Gosta de caçar tatu (tatu é pra se caçar)

Gosta muito de uma pinga (pinga é pra se tomar)

Gosta de dançar forro (forro é pra se dançar)

Gosta muito de mulher (mulher é pra se gostar)


O defeito de meu pai é que tudo que ele faz

Tem ganância de querer, e tudo ele quer de mais


Quando vai caçar tatu (não há tatu que agüente)

Quando ele toma pinga (toma ate cair pra frente)

Quando entra num forró (forro não pode acabar)

Quando vê muita mulher (com todas quer se casar)

Translation

My father is a good man


He likes to hunt tatu (tatu is for hunting)

He likes a lot of pinga (pinga is for drinking)

He likes to dance forro (forro is for dancing)

He likes women a lot (women are for liking)


My father's flaw is that everything he does

He has the greed to want, and he wants everything too much


When he goes to hunt tatu (there's no tatu that can stand it)

When he drinks pinga (he drinks until he falls forward)

When he enters a forró (the forró cannot end)

When he sees many women (he wants to marry them all)
