Hey!
Wow! Caco, look what I got!
What?
A dictionary! Hi!
And speak!
Pa-pa-parrot, chi-cken
What word do you want to know?
A word... parrot!
Parrot is a word invented by two peoples
The Arabs when they saw a parrot said pa pa pa pa pa!
Pa pa pa pa pa!
When the Arabs went to France
The French added gaio at the end
Gaio for them is joy
Parrot the happy pa pa pa!
Parrot the happy pa pa pa!
Ah! Cock-a-doodle-doo!
Cock-a-doodle-doo is a word that imitates the rooster's crow
It can also be cock-a-doodle, cockoroco, cockorocó
A cock-a-doodle! A cockoroco! A cockorocó!
And who invented our language, huh?
When Cabral arrived from Portugal
He unloaded in Brazil a bunch of Portuguese words:
Corn, wheat, bread, machete, companion, pan
And the Portuguese words got mixed up with
the words of the Indians who lived around here:
Porridge, jabuticaba, pineapple, alligator, jequitibá, Piauí, stream
And the ships arrived with African words
Samba, drumming, bizunga, kid, youngest, caress
And also the Arabic words
Lettuce, pillow, syrup, cotton
And the French words
Cap, lamp, rain, etiquette, truck
And the English words
Soccer, sandwich, goal!
Snack, steak, shampoo
And the Japanese words
Judo, kimono, karate, karaoke
And even Chinese words
Tea, want tea? Tea, tea tea!
And from this mixture of voices was born the language we speak
Don't be ignorant, don't be lazy
Looking in the dictionary is quite enjoyable!
Don't be ignorant, don't be lazy
Looking in the dictionary is quite enjoyable!
