(English)
Ha ha ha minha machadinha
Ha ha ha minha machadinha
Quem te pôs a mão
Sabendo que és minha
Quem te pôs a mão
Sabendo que és minha.
Quem te pôs a mão
Já eu sei quem é
Quem te pôes a mão
Já eu sei quem é
É um rapazinho
Chamado José
É um rapazinho
Chamado José.
Chamado José
Chamado João
Chamado José
Chamado João
É o rapazinho
Do meu coração.
Ha ha ha my little axe
Ha ha ha my little axe
Who put their hands on you
Knowing you're mine?
Who put their hands on you
Knowing you're mine?
Who placed the hands
I already know who it is
Who placed the hands
I already know who it is
Is a little boy
Called José
Is a little boy
Called José
Called José
Called João
Called José
Called João
Is the little boy
Of my heart.
Notes
Carolina wrote: "I preferred to keep the original names, which would translate to Joseph and John. Also, this was a game where the girls had to pull a boy from the circle in way to complete the game. Cute".
