Paleteando o Mouro Velho / João Tatu

Tá se formando o fandango, tchê
Água chegando nas ruas, gurizada

Encilhei o mouro velho que apelidei de tarugo
E atei a cola do macho bem no tranco do sabugo
Vou procurar boia nova, chega de comer refugo

Paleteia o mouro velho, tu não afrouxa o garrão
Quero beber uma água benta com gostinho de batom
Paleteia o mouro velho, tu não vai frouxar o garrão
Quero beber uma água benta com gostinho de batom

Dei de mão numa crinuda que me olhou de revesgueio
Fiz um convite esquisito e uma proposta no meio
Amanheci de orelha murcha e a tchanga pedindo o freio

Paleteia o mouro velho, tu não afrouxa o garrão
Quero beber uma água benta com gostinho de batom
Paleteia o mouro velho, tu não vai frouxar o garrão
Quero beber uma água benta com gostinho de batom

Ai, cheguei num baile de rancho,'tava frio, meio garoando
Raparigueiro gritou: Ha, ha! Óia' aí quem vem chegando
Me atirei nos braços duma e já saímo cavocando

Cavoca aqui, cavoca ali, cavoca lá
Eu nasci pra ser tatu, meu negócio é cavocar
Cavoca aqui, cavoca ali, cavoca ali, cavoca ali, cavoca lá
Eu nasci pra ser tatu, meu negócio é cavocar

Dono do rancho gritou: Gaiteiro, pode ir parando!
Que eu vou contar a mulherada, senão tem uma faltando
Porque lá fora eu vi um vulto, esquizofrênico cavocando

Cavoca aqui, cavoca ali, cavoca lá
Eu nasci pra ser tatu, meu negócio é cavocar, ha, ha!
Cavoca aqui, cavoca ali, cavoca ali, cavoca ali, cavoca lá
Eu nasci pra ser tatu, meu negócio é cavocar

Cavoca aqui, cavoca ali, cavoca ali, cavoca ali, cavoca lá
Eu nasci pra ser tatu, meu negócio é cavocar
Cavoca aqui, cavoca ali, cavoca ali, cavoca ali, cavoca lá
Eu me chamo João Tatu pra aquilo que precisar

Paleteando o Mouro Velho / João Tatu

There's going to be a fandango, honey
The rain is filling up the streets, dear

I saddled up the old mule I nicknamed the nag
And I tied the male's tail right to the saddle's horn
I'm going to look for a new job, I'm tired of eating scraps

Spurs on the old mule, don't slacken your pace
I want to drink some holy water with a taste of lipstick
Spurs on the old mule, don't slacken your pace
I want to drink some holy water with a taste of lipstick

I held hands with a girl with long hair who looked at me sideways
I made a strange invitation and a proposal in the middle of it
I woke up with a sore ear and the girl asking for the brake

Spurs on the old mule, don't slacken your pace
I want to drink some holy water with a taste of lipstick
Spurs on the old mule, don't slacken your pace
I want to drink some holy water with a taste of lipstick

Hey, I arrived at a ranch dance, it was cold, it was drizzling
A womanizer shouted: Ha, ha! Look who's coming
I threw myself into the arms of one and we started dancing

We danced here, we danced there, we danced over there
I was born to be an armadillo, my thing is to dance
We danced here, we danced there, we danced here, we danced there, we danced over there
I was born to be an armadillo, my thing is to dance

The owner of the ranch shouted: Musician, you can stop playing!
I'm going to count the women, or one will be missing
Because outside I saw a figure, a crazy person dancing

We danced here, we danced there, we danced over there
I was born to be an armadillo, my thing is to dance, ha, ha!
We danced here, we danced there, we danced here, we danced there, we danced over there
I was born to be an armadillo, my thing is to dance

We danced here, we danced there, we danced there, we danced there, we danced over there
I was born to be an armadillo, my thing is to dance
We danced here, we danced there, we danced there, we danced there, we danced over there
My name is João Tatu for whatever you need
