Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Se Eu Fosse by Tiquequê from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Se eu fosse uma formiguinha
If I were an ant
Seria pequequenininha
It would be little
Faria um mega esforço
Would make a mega effort
Pra carregar uma folhinha
To carry a leaflet
Se eu fosse um bicho-preguiça
If I were a bug
Dormia o dia inteiro
Sleeping all day
Não me mexia para nada
I didn't move me for anything
Nem pra ir no banheiro
Not to go to the bathroom
E se eu fosse um macaco
And if I were a monkey
Pulava de galho em galho
Jumped from branch to branch
E comer muitas bananas
And eat many bananas
Seria um grande barato
It would be a big cheap
Se eu fosse uma tartaruga
If I were a turtle
Andava bem devagar
He walked very slowly
E se eu quisesse ir bem longe
And if I wanted to go far
Acho que ia demorar
I think it would take
Se eu fosse um papagaio
If I were a parrot
Ia ser muito falante
It was going to be very talking
Tudo que eu escutasse
Everything I listen
Repetiria num instante
Would repeat in an instant
Se eu fosse um crocodilo
If I were a crocodile
Ficava dentro do lago
It was inside the lake
Abria o bocão bem grande
Open the big mouth
Cheio de dente afiado
Sharp
Se eu fosse uma galinha
If I were a chicken
Ficava chocando o ovo
Was shocking the egg
Quando nascesse o pintinho
When the chick was born
Botava outro de novo
Put another again
Se eu fosse um elefante
If I were an elephant
Com minha tromba comprida
With my long trunk
Deixava ela esticada
Left her stretched
Só pra te dar uma lambida
Just to give you a lick
