The parakeet in the plot,
The totuma1 in the pen
and even the cock rasps
when an animal2 passes by. (repeat line)
There, in my town,
when a stone-curlew3 flies by
girls get scared
for the kiss in the morichal4
The dog of the house
gets up and starts running
running outside
because he doesn't like fighting.
'It was you', 'what, me?'
'of course not' 'was it you?'
You were seen taking
a cup of coffee to the morichal,
and that Pedro, in the corn fields
was blowing up your corn ears?'5
And that night, the moon
got very pretty, very bright.
So much that even Pedro gets scared
if a stone-curlew flies by.
