Full lyrics
Peguei, peguei
Peguei o grilo dela
Peguei, peguei
Peguei o grilo dela
Num buraquinho da parede lá de casa
Tinha um grilinho que fazia cri-cri
Minha mulher gosta muito de ouvir
A cantiga do grilo não me deixava dormir
Peguei o grilo e botei dentro de um saco
Pisei todo de sapato e joguei pela janela
Minha mulher gritou: Esse grilo é meu!
Me xingou e me bateu porque peguei no grilo dela
Translation
I caught, I caught
I caught her cricket
I caught, I caught
I caught her cricket
In a little hole in the wall at my house
There was a little cricket that went cri-cri
My wife really likes to listen
The cricket's song wouldn't let me sleep
I caught the cricket and put it inside a bag
I stepped on it with my shoe and threw it out the window
My wife shouted: That cricket is mine!
She cursed at me and hit me because I caught her cricket
