Atirei o pau ao gato
Atirei o pau ao gato
I Threw the Stick to the Cat
Children's Song
Children's Song
(Portuguese)
(English)
Atirei o pau ao gato-to
Mas o gato-to
Não morreu-rreu-rreu
Dona Chica-ca
Assustou-se-se
Com o berro
Com o berro
Que o gato deu
MIAU!
À sentada à chaminé-né-né
Veio uma pulga-ga
Mordeu-lhe o pé-pé-pé
Ou ela chora
Ou ela grita
Ou vai-se embora
Pulga maldita!
I threw the stick to the cat-cat
But the cat-cat
Has not died-ed-ed
Mrs. Chica-ca
Scared off-off-off
With the scream
With the scream
Of the cat
MEOW!
Sitting on the chimney-ey-ey
Came a flea-flea
Bit her foot-foot-foot
Or she cries
Or she screams
Or goes away
Damn flea!

Carolina wrote: "Probably the most known song in our repertory. Our "Sesame Street's" first version even had a Mrs. Chica and her kitty. Anyway, despite the violence of the lyrics... Every children knows it and I've never seen one trying to beat cats with sticks.
Thanks!
