Lyrics and translation Roberta Sá - Tico Tico No Fubá




Tico Tico No Fubá
Tico Tico No Fubá
E o tico-tico só, o tico-tico
And the little bird alone, the little bird over there
Está comendo todo, todo o meu fubá
Is eating all, all of my cornmeal
Olha Seu Nicolau
Look, Mr. Nicolau
Que o fubá se vai
This cornmeal is gone
Pego no meu picapau
I take my woodpecker
E o tiro sai
And the shot goes out
Então eu tenho pena do susto que levou
Then I feel sorry for the fright he got
E uma cuia cheia de fubá eu dou
And I give him a gourd filled with cornmeal
E alegre voando e piando
And happy, already flying and chirping
Meu fubá, meu fubá
My cornmeal, my cornmeal
Saltando de para
Jumping from here to there
E o tico-tico só, o tico-tico
And the little bird alone, the little bird over there
Está comendo todo, todo o meu fubá
Is eating all, all of my cornmeal
Olha Seu Nicolau
Look, Mr. Nicolau
Que o fubá se vai
This cornmeal is gone
Pego no meu picapau
I take my woodpecker
E o tiro sai
And the shot goes out
Então eu tenho pena do susto que levou
Then I feel sorry for the fright he got
E uma cuia cheia de fubá eu dou
And I give him a gourd filled with cornmeal
E alegre voando e piando
And happy, already flying and chirping
Meu fubá, meu fubá
My cornmeal, my cornmeal
Saltando de para
Jumping from here to there
Ouvi um dia porém que ele não voltou
However, I heard one day that he didn't come back
O seu gostoso fubá, o vento levou
Your tasty cornmeal, the wind took away
Triste fiquei, quase chorei, mas então vi
I was sad, I almost cried, but then I saw
Logo depois não era um, e sim dois
Soon after, it wasn't one, it was already two
Quero contar baixinho a vida dos dois
I want to tell you softly about the two
Tiveram ninho e filhinhos depois
They had a nest and baby birds
Todos agora pularam e saltando aqui
Now they're all jumping and leaping here
Comendo todo o meu fubá
Eating all of my cornmeal
Saltando de para
Jumping from here to there
E o tico-tico só, o tico-tico
And the little bird alone, the little bird over there
Está comendo todo, todo o meu fubá
Is eating all, all of my cornmeal
Olha Seu Nicolau
Look, Mr. Nicolau
Que o fubá se vai
This cornmeal is gone
Pego no meu picapau
I take my woodpecker
E o tiro sai
And the shot goes out
Então eu tenho pena do susto que levou
Then I feel sorry for the fright he got
E uma cuia cheia de fubá eu dou
And I give him a gourd filled with cornmeal
E alegre voando e piando
And happy, already flying and chirping
Meu fubá, meu fubá
My cornmeal, my cornmeal
Saltando de para
Jumping from here to there
Ouvi um dia porém que ele não voltou
However, I heard one day that he didn't come back
O seu gostoso fubá, o vento levou
Your tasty cornmeal, the wind took away
Triste fiquei, quase chorei, mas então vi
I was sad, I almost cried, but then I saw

Now they're all jumping and leaping here
Comendo todo o meu fubá
Eating all of my cornmeal
Saltando de para
Jumping from here to there
Comendo todo o meu fubá
Eating all of my cornmeal
Saltando de para
Jumping from here to there
