Lyrics and translation Arnaldo Antunes - O Macaco




O Macaco
The Monkey
O macaco se parece com o homem
The monkey looks like the man
A macaca parece mulher
The female monkey looks like the woman
Algumas pessoas se parecem
Some people look alike
Outras pessoas se parecem com outras
Other people look like others
As macacas de auditório são meninas
The auditorium female monkeys are girls
As crianças parecem micos
The children look like monkeys
Os papagaios falam o que pessoas falam
The parrots talk what people talk
Mas não parecem pessoas
But they don't look like people
Para os cegos os papagaios parecem pessoas
For the blind parrots look like people
O homem veio do macaco
Man came from the monkey
Mas antes o macaco veio do cavalo
But before the monkey came from the horse
E o cavalo veio do gato
And the horse came from the cat
Então o homem veio do gato
So the man came from the cat
O gato veio do coelho
The cat came from the rabbit
Que veio do sapo
Which came from the frog
Que veio do lagarto
Which came from the lizard
Então o homem veio do lagarto
So the man came from the lizard
O lagarto veio da borboleta
The lizard came from the butterfly
Que veio do pássaro
Which came from the bird
Que veio do peixe
Which came from the fish
Pessoas se parecem com peixes
People look like fish
Quando nadam
When they swim
Pessoas se parecem com peixes
People look like fish
Quando olham o vazio
When they stare into the void
Pessoas se parecem com peixes
People look like fish
Quando ainda não nasceram
When they are not yet born
Pessoas se parecem com peixes
People look like fish
Quando fazem bolas de chiclete
When they make bubble gum balls
Macacos desaparecem
Monkeys disappear
Peixes parecem peixes
Fish look like fish
Micróbios não aparecem
Microbes do not appear
Todos se parecem
Everyone looks alike
Pois se diferem
Because they differ
