Full lyrics
Eu resolvi criar animais do mato
Tenho cobra grande, papagaio e pato
Crio gavião e tenho bem-te-vi
Eu não achei pra comprar, eu vou pedir o quati.
Vou pedir o quati, vou pedir o quati
Quem quiser me dar eu quero, estou pedindo o quati.
Tenho jaguatirica e tamanduá
Gogó da Índia, macaco e gambá
Comprei asa branca e também juriti
Já que ninguém tem, eu vou pedir o quati.
Vou pedir o quati, vou pedir o quati
Quem quiser me dar eu quero, estou pedindo o quati.
O jardim tá pronto, vou inaugurar
Tô te convidando pra participar
Falta um animal, eu não consegui
Vai ser nesse dia que eu peço o quati.
Vou pedir o quati, vou pedir o quati
Quem quiser me dar eu quero, estou pedindo o quati.
Translation
I decided to raise wild animals
I have large snakes, parrots, and ducks
I raise hawks and I have kiskadees
I couldn't find one to buy, I'm going to ask for the coati.
I'm going to ask for the coati, I'm going to ask for the coati
Whoever wants to give it to me, I want it, I'm asking for the coati.
I have ocelots and anteaters
Indian fowls, monkeys, and opossums
I bought white-winged pigeons and also ground doves
Since no one has it, I'm going to ask for the coati.
I'm going to ask for the coati, I'm going to ask for the coati
Whoever wants to give it to me, I want it, I'm asking for the coati.
The garden is ready, I'm going to inaugurate it
I'm inviting you to participate
One animal is missing, I couldn't get it
It will be on that day that I ask for the coati.
I'm going to ask for the coati, I'm going to ask for the coati
Whoever wants to give it to me, I want it, I'm asking for the coati.
