Meu Galinho

I haven't slept for three nights, hello!
Well, I lost my little rooster, hello!
Poor thing, olará! Poor thing, olará!
I lost it there in the garden

He's white and yellow, hello!
It has a little red crest, hello!
Flap your wings, lalá! Open your beak, olará!
He goes chi-chi-chi-chi

I've already driven around Mato Grosso, hello!
Amazonas and Pará, hello!
I found it, hello! My little rooster, lalá!
In the backlands of Ceara!
