  1. Não venha querer se consolar

    Don't come looking for comfort

  2. Que agora não dá mais pé

    Because now it just won't work

  3. Nem nunca mais vai dar

    And it will never work again

  4. Também, quem mandou se levantar?

    Well, who told you to stand up?

  5. Quem levantou pra sair perde o lugar

    Who stands up to leave loses their place

  6. E agora, cadê teu novo amor?

    And now, where's your new love?

  7. Cadê que ele nunca funcionou

    Where is he, he never worked out

  8. Cadê que ele nada resolveu

    Where is he, he solved nothing

  1. Quaquaraquaquá, quem riu

    Quaquaraquaquá, who laughed

  2. Quaquaraquaquá, fui eu

    Quaquaraquaquá, it was me

  3. Quaquaraquaquá, quem riu

    Quaquaraquaquá, who laughed

  4. Quaquaraquaquá, fui eu

    Quaquaraquaquá, it was me

  5. 'Inda sou mais eu

    I'm even more me

  6. Você já entrou na de voltar

    You've already gotten into the idea of coming back

  7. Agora fica na tua que é melhor ficar

    Now it's better for you to stay to yourself

  8. Porque vai ser fogo me aturar

    Because it's gonna be fire to put up with me

  9. Quem cai na chuva só tem que se molhar

    Who falls in the rain just has to get wet

  10. E agora cadê, cadê você?

    And now where are you, where are you?

  11. Cadê que eu não vejo mais, cadê?

    Where are you that I don't see anymore, where?

  12. Pois é, quem te viu e quem te vê

    Well, who saw you and who sees you now

  13. Quaquaraquaquá, quem riu

    Quaquaraquaquá, who laughed

  14. Quaquaraquaquá, fui eu

    Quaquaraquaquá, it was me

  15. Quaquaraquaquá, quem riu

    Quaquaraquaquá, who laughed

  16. Quaquaraquaquá, fui eu

    Quaquaraquaquá, it was me

  17. Todo mundo se admira

    Everyone's amazed

  18. Da mancada que a Terezinha deu

    At the blunder that Terezinha made

  19. Que deu na pira e ficou sem nada ter de seu

    She got caught in the fire and ended up with nothing of her own

  20. Ela não quis fazer fé

    She didn't want to believe

  21. Na virada da maré, breque

    In the turning of the tide, stop

  22. Mas que malandro sou eu

    But what a clever guy am I

  23. Pra ficar dando colher de chá

    To keep spoon-feeding

  24. Se eu não tiver colher

    If I don't have a spoon

  25. Vou deitar e rolar

    I'll just lay down and roll

  26. Você já entrou na de voltar

    You've already tried to come back

  27. Agora fica na tua que é melhor ficar

    Now it's better for you to stay out of it

  28. Porque vai ser fogo me aturar

    Because it's going to be hell to put up with me

  29. Quem cai na chuva só tem que se molhar

    Whoever falls in the rain only has to get wet

  30. E agora cadê, cadê você?

    And now where are you, where are you?

  31. Cadê que eu não vejo mais, cadê?

    Where have you gone, I can't see you anymore, where?

  32. Pois é, quem te viu e quem te vê

    Well, who saw you and who sees you now

  33. Quaquaraquaquá, quem riu

    Quaquaraquaquá, who laughed

  34. Quaquaraquaquá, fui eu

    Quaquaraquaquá, it was me

  35. Quaquaraquaquá, quem riu

    Quaquaraquaquá, who laughed

  36. Quaquaraquaquá, fui eu

    Quaquaraquaquá, it was me

  37. O vento que venta aqui

    The wind that blows here

  38. É o mesmo que venta lá

    Is the same that blows there

  39. E volta pro mandingueiro

    And returns to the sorcerer

  40. A mandinga de quem mandingá

    The spell of the one who cast the spell

  41. O vento que venta aqui

    The wind that blows here

  42. É o mesmo que venta lá

    Is the same that blows there

  43. E volta pro mandingueiro

    And returns to the trickster

  44. A mandinga de quem mandingá

    The magic of those who conjure

  45. Quaquaraquaquá, quem riu

    Quack, quack, who laughed

  46. Quaquaraquaquá, fui eu

    Quack, quack, it was me

  47. Quaquaraquaquá, quem riu

    Quack, quack, who laughed

  48. Quaquaraquaquá, fui eu

    Quack, quack, it was me

  49. Quaquaraquaquá, quem riu

    Quack, quack, who laughed

  50. Quaquaraquaquá, ha, ha, ha...

    Quack, quack, ha, ha, ha...
