Lyrics

I. Lins — V. Martins)
Avisa ao formigueiro
Vem a tamandu
Pra comeo de conversa, to com grana e pouca pressa
Nego quebra a dentadura mas no larga a rapadura
Nego mama e se arruma, se vicia e se acostuma
E hoje em dia est difcil de acabar com esse ofcio…
Avisa ao forigueiro
Vem a tamandu
Repinique e xique-xique, tanta coisa com repique
Pra entupir nossos ouvidos, pra cobrir nossos gemidos
Quando acabar o batuque aparece outro truque
Aparece outro milagre do jeito que a gente sabe…
Avisa ao formigueiro
Vem a tamandu
Tanto furo, tanto rombo no se tapa com biombo
No se esconde o diabo deixando de fora o rabo
E pros «home» no t difcil de arrumar outro disfarce
De arrumar tanto remendo se t todo mundo vendo…
Avisa ao formigueiro
Vem a tamandu

Lyrics translation

I. Lins — V. Martins)
Warn the anthill
Come to tamandu
To comeo of conversation, to with money and little hurry
Nego breaks the denture but does not loose the shaving
I deny mama and gets dressed, gets addicted and gets used
And nowadays it is difficult to end this ofcio…
Warn the Ranger
Come to tamandu
Repinique and xique-xique, so much with repique
To clog our ears, to cover our groans
When the batuque is over another trick appears
Another miracle appears the way we know…
Warn the anthill
Come to tamandu
So much hole, so much Rhombus does not cover with screen
No hides the devil leaving out the ass
And pros "home" in t difcil to arrange another disguise
To fix so much patch if t everyone sell…
Warn the anthill
Come to tamandu
