Tico-Tico No Fubá

Ney Matogrosso Ney Matogrosso

Tico-Tico in the Cornmeal

One Tico-Tico alone
The Tico-Tico there
Is eating
All, all, my cornmeal
Look, Mr. Nicolau
The cornmeal is going away
I grab my stick
And a shot goes off

So I feel sorry
For the scare it got
And a gourd
Full of cornmeal I give
And happily flying and chirping
My cornmeal, my cornmeal
Jumping from here to there

One Tico-Tico alone
The Tico-Tico there
Is eating
All, all, my cornmeal
Look, Mr. Nicolau
The cornmeal is going away
I grab my stick
And a shot goes off

So I feel sorry
For the scare it got
And a gourd
Full of cornmeal I give
And happily flying and chirping
My cornmeal, my cornmeal
Jumping from here to there

There was a day, however
That it didn't come back
Its delicious cornmeal
The wind took away
I was sad, almost cried
But then I saw
Soon after it wasn't one
But already two

I want to whisper
The life of the two
They had nests
And little ones afterwards
They all now jump there
Jump here
Eating all my cornmeal
Jumping from here to there

One Tico-Tico alone
The Tico-Tico there
Is eating
All, all, my cornmeal
Look, Mr. Nicolau
The cornmeal is going away
I grab my stick
And a shot goes off

So I feel sorry
For the scare it got
And a gourd
Full of cornmeal I give
And happily flying and chirping
My cornmeal, my cornmeal
Jumping from here to there

There was a day, however
That it didn't come back
Its delicious cornmeal
The wind took away
I was sad, almost cried
But then I saw
Soon after it wasn't one
But already two

I want to whisper
The life of the two
They had nests
And little ones afterwards
They all now jump there
Jump here
Eating all my cornmeal
Jumping from here to there

One Tico-Tico alone
The Tico-Tico there
Is eating
All, all, my cornmeal
Look, Mr. Nicolau
The cornmeal is going away
I grab my stick
And a shot goes off

So I feel sorry
For the scare it got
And a gourd
Full of cornmeal I give
And happily flying and chirping
My cornmeal, my cornmeal
Jumping from here to there
