Full lyrics
Minha garota não entende de roçado
Depois de nós dois casados, eu tentei a ela explicar
Que planto milho, planto arroz, planto feijão
Batata, e algodão e castanha-do-Pará
Limpei o mato, deixei tudo lapidado
Mandei passar o arado, preparei a terra dela
Quando choveu a terra ficou molhada
Eu tava sem fazer nada e plantei a mandioca nela
Plantei, plantei, eu plantei a mandioca nela
Plantei, plantei, eu plantei a mandioca nela
Plantei, plantei, eu plantei a mandioca nela
E eu tava sem fazer nada, plantei a mandioca nela
Me perguntaram pra que serve a mandioca
E eu que não sou idiota, expliquei na ocasião
Mas a farinha faz beiju, que tem sabor
Lá no meu interior é de grande aceitação
A farinha tem bastante utilidade
Abastece a cidade e a nossa região
Por isso mesmo já preparei sua roça
Essa safra que é nossa, vai ser pra exportação
Plantei, plantei, eu plantei a mandioca nela
Plantei, plantei, eu plantei a mandioca nela
Plantei, plantei, eu plantei a mandioca nela
E eu tava sem fazer nada, plantei a mandioca nela.
Translation
My girl doesn't understand about farming fields
After we got married, I tried to explain to her
That I plant corn, I plant rice, I plant beans
Potatoes, and cotton, and Brazil nuts
I cleared the brush, left everything well-prepared
I had the plow run through, I prepared her land
When it rained, the land got wet
I had nothing to do and I planted the cassava in her
I planted, I planted, I planted the cassava in her
I planted, I planted, I planted the cassava in her
I planted, I planted, I planted the cassava in her
And I had nothing to do, I planted the cassava in her
They asked me what cassava is for
And I, who am not an idiot, explained on the occasion
But the flour makes beiju, which has flavor
There in my countryside it's widely accepted
The flour has many uses
It supplies the city and our region
That's why I've already prepared her field
This harvest, which is ours, will be for export
I planted, I planted, I planted the cassava in her
I planted, I planted, I planted the cassava in her
I planted, I planted, I planted the cassava in her
And I had nothing to do, I planted the cassava in her.
