(Portuguese)

(English)

Disse o galo pr'á galinha,
- Casemos, ó prima.
- Sim, sim, casaremos,
mas, falta a madrinha.
Respondeu a cobra
lá da ribeirinha,
que ela estava pronta
p'ra ser a madrinha.

- A madrinha já nós temos
e mui certa a temos,
agora o padrinho,
onde nós iremos?
Respondeu o rato
do seu buraquinho,
que ele estava pronto
p'ra ser o padrinho.

- O padrinho já nós temos
e mui certo o temos,
agora o carneiro,
onde nós iremos?
Respondeu o lobo
lá do seu lobal,
que ele estava pronto
pr'ó carneiro dar.

- O carneiro já nós temos
e mui certo o temos,
agora o pão trigo,
onde nós iremos?
Responde a formiga
do seu formigal,
que ela estava pronta
para o trigo dar.

- O pão trigo já nós temos
e mui certo o temos,
mas a cozinheira,
onde nós iremos?
Responde a raposa,
por ser mais lampeira,
que ela estava pronta
p'ra ser cozinheira.

- Cozinheira já nós temos,
e mui certa a temos,
não nos falta nada,
sim, sim, casaremos.
Cozinheira já nós temos,
e mui certa a temos,
não nos falta nada,
sim, sim, casaremos.

The rooster said to the hen,
"Let's get married, oh, cousin."
"Yes, yes, we'll get married
But we lack a maid of honor."
The snake answered
From the riverside
That she was ready
To be the maid of honor.

"Now we have the maid of honor,
And for sure we have her,
Now for the best man,
Where will we go?"
The mouse answered
From his little hole
That he was ready
To be the best man.

"Now we have the best man,
And for sure we have him,
Now for the sheep,
Where will we go?"
The wolf answered
From his den
That he was ready
To give up the sheep.

"Now we have the sheep
And for sure we have it,
Now for the wheat bread,
Where will we go?"
The ant answered
From her ant hill
That she was ready
To give the wheat.

"Now we have the wheat bread,
And for sure we have it,
But for a cook,
Where will we go?"
The fox answered
Since she's clever
That she was ready
To be the cook.

"Now we have the cook,
And for sure we have her,
Nothing is lacking,
Yes, yes, we'll get married.
Now we have the cook,
And for sure we have her,
Nothing is lacking,
Yes, yes, we'll get married."
