Pickled Plum

Pickled plum is the fruit of the flower
Just like the lotus flower
A powerful bomb
Just like the pomba-gira
Appetite stimulant
Bronchitis elixir
Women's regulator
Basis of public health
Health in the year two thousand and only
Way out against the tide

Pickled plum cures any health
Pickled plum cures any disease
Pickled plum cures everything because it came from Japan
It was cultivated in the land
Where there was an explosion

"I want peace and rice
Love is good and comes later"
As my friend Jorge said very well
In the end, it's God in the mouth of the sky and nothing else

(I met my friend on the edge of the pier
I asked if he would go
He said: "The Lord will
Descend from heaven to earth once more"
I thought: "Who would say"
He said: "The Lord will"
I said something
He disappeared from the pier
He left from there forever
Never to return

And when I get home
Give, father
Give, mother
Give here
Give here
Give a piggyback ride, give, give, give
Give a piggyback ride, give, give
Give a piggyback ride to the boy
So the boy won't cry
Make the bed for the girl
Because the girl wants to lie down

Give a piggyback ride, father
Give a piggyback ride, mother
Give a piggyback ride to the boy
So the boy won't cry
Make the bed for the girl
Because the girl wants to lie down)

Pickled plum
Salty little plum
Aged for three years
Cured for three years
In salt
Aged
Cured
Heals
Heals any disease
Heals any health
Pickled plum
Salty little plum
(Salty as hell)

Pickled plum is the fruit of the flower
Just like the lotus flower
A powerful bomb
Just like the pomba-gira
