Doidas andam as galinhas
The Chicken Goes Crazy
Children's Song
(Portuguese)
Children's Song
(English)
Doidas doidas doidas
Andam as galinhas
Para por o ovo
Lá no buraquinho
Raspam raspam raspam
Pra alisar a terra
Picam picam picam
Pra fazer o ninho
Arrebita a crista o galo vaidoso
Cocorococó canta refilão
E todo emproado com ar majestoso
É o comandante deste batalhão.
Crazy crazy crazy
Go the chickens
To put the egg
In the little hole.
Scratch scratch scratch
To soften the earth
Prick prick prick
To make their nest.
The vain rooster
Raises the head,
Sings "cocorococó", upset,
And all proud, with a majestic look
He's the commander of this battalion.
Notes
Carolina wrote: "This song comes with gestures: For very young children and babies we trade it for "A pitinha põe o ovo e o bebé papa todo!" ("The little chick puts the egg and the baby eats it all!")"
