Lyrics

Igual ao ovo e a galinha, me diga lá
Quem nasceu primeiro foi a flor ou a mulher?
Igual ao ovo e a galinha, me diga lá
Quem nasceu primeiro foi a flor ou a mulher?
Vê se não foi, bastou botar o nome de Rosa e toda flor ficou foi rosa
E o beija-flor beijou, beijou, beijou e não se espinhou
Mas quem tirar do jardim a rosa vai se espinhar
E o beija-flor beijou, beijou, beijou e não se espinhou
Mas quem tirar do jardim a rosa vai se espinhar

Lyrics translation

Same as the egg and the chicken, tell me there
Who was born first was the flower or the woman?
Same as the egg and the chicken, tell me there
Who was born first was the flower or the woman?
See if it was not, it was enough to put the name of Rose and every flower was pink
And the hummingbird kissed, kissed, kissed and did not spin
But those who take the rose from the garden will spin
And the hummingbird kissed, kissed, kissed and did not spin
But those who take the rose from the garden will spin
