O pato vinha cantando alegremente, quém, quém
The duck was singing happily, whoops, whoops
Quando o marreco sorridente pediu
When the smiling duck asked
Pra entrar também no samba
To also join samba
O ganso gostou da dupla e fez também quém, quém
The goose liked the pair and also did whoops, whoops
Olhou pro cisne e disse assim 'vem, vem'
He looked at the swan and said 'come, come'
E o quarteto ficará bem, muito bom, muito bem
And the quartet will be fine, very fine, very fine
Na beira da lagoa foram ensaiar para começar
At the edge of the lake they rehearsed to begin
O tico-tico no fubá
The tico-tico in the cornmeal
A voz do pato era mesmo um desacato
The duck's voice was really disrespectful
Jogo de cena com o ganso era mato
Scene game with the goose was bush
Mas eu gostei do final
But I liked the ending
Quando caíram n'água
When they fell into the water
Ensaiando o vocal
Rehearsing the vocal
Quém, quém, quém, quém
Who, who, who, who
Quém, quém, quém, quém
Who, who, who, who
Quém, quém, quém, quém
Who, who, who, who
O pato vinha cantando alegremente, quém, quém
The duck was singing happily, whoops, whoops
Quando o marreco sorridente pediu
When the smiling duck asked
Pra entrar também no samba
To also join samba
O ganso gostou da dupla e fez também quém, quém
The goose liked the pair and also did whoops, whoops
Olhou pro cisne e disse assim 'vem, vem'
He looked at the swan and said 'come, come'
E o quarteto ficará bem, muito bom, muito bem
And the quartet will be fine, very fine, very fine
Na beira da lagoa foram ensaiar para começar
At the edge of the lake they rehearsed to begin
O tico-tico no fubá
