These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Era uma vez um Lobo Mau
Once upon a time there was a Big Bad Wolf
Que resolveu jantar alguém
Who decided to have dinner with someone
Estava sem vintém
I was penniless
Mas arriscou
But she took a risk
E logo se estrepou
And then it broke
Um chapeuzinho de maiô
A little swimsuit hat
Ouviu buzina e não parou
She heard the horn and didn't stop
Mas Lobo Mau insiste
But Big Bad Wolf insists
E faz cara de triste
And makes a sad face
Mas chapeuzinho ouviu
But Little Riding Hood heard
Os conselhos da vovó
Grandma's advice
Dizer que não pra lobo
Say no to the wolf
Que com lobo não sai só
That you don't go alone with a wolf
Lobo canta, pede
Wolf sings, asks
Promete tudo, até amor
Promises everything, even love
E diz que fraco de lobo
And he says he's weak as a wolf
É ver um chapeuzinho de maiô
It's like seeing a little hat in a swimsuit
Mas chapeuzinho percebeu
But Little Riding Hood noticed
Que o Lobo Mau se derreteu
That the Big Bad Wolf melted
Pra ver você que lobo
To see you what a wolf
Também faz papel de bobo
He also makes a fool of himself
Só posso lhe dizer
I can only tell you
Chapeuzinho agora traz
Little Riding Hood now brings
O Lobo na coleira
The Wolf on the Leash
Que não janta nunca mais
Who will never have dinner again
Lobo bobo
Silly wolf
Humm!
Hmm!
