Cocoricó
Dictionary Song
Hi!
Wow! Caco, look what I got!
What?
A dictionary! Hi!
And speak!
Pa-pa-parrot, gaa-line
What word do you want to know?
One word, parrot!
Parrot is a word invented by two peoples
When the Arabs saw a parrot they would say pa pa pa pa pa pa!
Pa pa pa pa pa pa!
When the Arabs went to France
The French joined forces at the end
Gaio is joy for them
Parrot, pa pa pa happy!
Parrot, pa pa pa happy!
Ah! Cock-a-doodle-doo!
Cocoricó is a word that imitates the crowing of a rooster
It can also be cock-a-doodle-doo
A cluck! A cluck! A cluck!
And who invented our language, huh?
When Cabral arrived from Portugal
He dumped a bunch of Portuguese words on Brazil
Corn, wheat, bread, machete, companion, pan
And the Portuguese words got tangled up with
The words of the Indians who lived here
Porridge, jabuticaba, pineapple, alligator, jequitibá, Piauí, creek
And the ships arrived with the African words
Samba, drumming, bizunga, kid, youngest, cuddle
And also the Arabic words
Lettuce, pillow, syrup, cotton
And the French words
Cap, lampshade, rain, label, truck
And the English words
Football, sandwich, goal!
Snack, steak, shampoo
And the Japanese words
Judo, kimono, karate, karaoke
And even Chinese words
Tea, do you 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 really nice!
Don't be ignorant, don't be lazy
Looking in the dictionary is really nice!
