Provérbios
Adoniran Barbosa
Proverbs
Much truth is hidden
Between heaven and earth
A barking dog doesn't bite
A good goat doesn't scream
My land has Corinthians
Where the curió sings
There's nothing tastier
Than my grandma's pastel
Ask old Columbus
Who also wore bangs
If old chicken is good
Or if its broth is better
He had a lot of work
You know how it is
Laying an egg is easy
Difficult is to stand it up
Don't count your chickens before they hatch
Because then the sun will shine
To cure a misdeed
Use tea and holy water
A fly with its mouth shut
And a rat that gnaws clothes
Friday the 13th
An old pot gives soup
A cat that's been scalded
Is afraid of cold water
Teaching the cat's leap
Neither sooner nor later
Stubborn as a mule
Is the jumping kangaroo
What has no cure
Can only be lovesickness
Don't look a gift horse in the mouth
If it's a horse given
Speaking ill, beating your chest
That's also a sin
Sponge cake shouldn't be given
To those without teeth
Don't argue about soccer
And don't hit your wife
The monkey in its branch
Is lazy all day
A clever cockroach
Doesn't cross the henhouse
The parakeet gets the fame
The parrot eats corn
The cake doesn't want a rain boot
And the train only runs on the track
The neighbor's chicken
Did this after all
Lays a little yellow egg
My stomping grounds are accounts
