Full lyrics
Bicho do olhão danado
É o filho de Anita
Deixou de casar com Rosa
Moça direita e bonita
Pra se casar com Zefinha
Só por causa da pepita
Por causa da pepita
Por causa da pepita
Não se casou com rosa
Era a moça mais bonita
Rosa filha de Onorio
Honesto e trabalhador
Porem o pai de Zefinha
Mentiroso assim falou
Zefa achou uma pepita
E o trouxa acreditou
Por causa da pepita
Por causa da pepita
Não se casou com rosa
Era a moça mais bonita
Essas coisas acontecem
A quem é interesseiro
Deixou um amor de verdade
Pra querer quem tem dinheiro
Perdeu Rosa e ganhou Zefa
E da pepita nem o cheiro
Translation
Creature with the cursed big eye
He's Anita's son
He stopped marrying Rosa
A righteous and beautiful girl
To marry Zefinha
Only because of the nugget
Because of the nugget
Because of the nugget
He didn't marry Rosa
She was the most beautiful girl
Rosa, Onorio's daughter honest and hardworking
But Zefinha's father
Liar, he spoke like this
Zefa found a nugget
And the sucker believed it
Because of the nugget
Because of the nugget
He didn't marry Rosa
She was the most beautiful girl
These things happen
To those who are greedy
He left a true love
To want someone who has money
He lost Rosa and won Zefa
And not even the smell of the nugget
