Paroles et traduction Luiz Gonzaga - Lorota Boa

Lorota Boa

Dei u′a carrera num cabra qui mexeu c'a Maroquinha
Cumeçou na Mata Grande e acabou na Lagoinha!
Curri mais de sete légua, carregado cumo eu vinha
Pois trazia na cabeça um balaio cheio de galinha

Oh, oh, oh!
Qui mintira qui lorota boa

Certa noite muito escura atirei de brincadeira
Espaiei dezesseis chumbo cum a minha atiradeira
No momento ia passando quinze patos no terreiro
Qui cairam fulminado, oi qui tiro mais certeiro

Oh, oh, oh!
Qui mintira qui lorota boa

Uma coisa aqui no Rio qui me chamou atenção
Foi ver a facilidade qui se toma condução
Todo mundo confortave, seja em trem ou gostosão
E os tais de trocadores, qui amáveis que eles são

Oh, oh, oh!
Qui mintira qui lorota boa

Vou contar agora um caso qui astur dia assucedeu
Minha sogra tá de prova que tal fato aconteceu
Uma cobra venenosa viu a véia e mordeu
Mais inveis da minha sogra foi a cobra que morreu

Oh, oh, oh!
Qui mintira qui lorota boa

Lorota Boa

I gave a run at a guy who was messing with Maroquinha
It started in Mata Grande and ended in Lagoinha!
I ran more than seven leagues, carrying everything I had
Because I was carrying a basket full of chickens on my head

Oh, oh, oh!
What a great lie, what a good yarn

One very dark night I shot for fun
I shot sixteen pellets with my slingshot
Fifteen ducks were passing by the yard at the moment
That fell down dead, what a precise shot

Oh, oh, oh!
What a great lie, what a good yarn

One thing here in Rio that caught my attention
Was seeing how easy it is to take a ride
Everyone is comfortable, whether by train or by bus
And those conductors, how friendly they are

Oh, oh, oh!
What a great lie, what a good yarn

I'll tell you now a story that happened the other day
My mother-in-law is proof that such a fact happened
A venomous snake saw the old lady and bit her
But instead of my mother-in-law, it was the snake that died

Oh, oh, oh!
What a great lie, what a good yarn
