Gavião Calçudo

I cried, because
I was left without my love
The wicked hawk
Flapped its wings and took her away,
And left me

Whoever has a beautiful woman
Hide her from the hawk
It has long nails
Leaves husbands in the lurch
But long live the single ones!
No love or passion
But you who are married,
Beware of the Hawk!

I cried, because
I was left without my love
The wicked hawk
Flapped its wings and took her away,
And left me

The culprit of all this is
The current husband, the wife
Walking on the street with her shins exposed!
Hawk catching a scent,
Comes down without delay
Grabs the woman by the beak,
Flaps its wings and flies away!
