Quer Beber

You better watch out, Genival
One of these days, you’re gonna get in trouble
Genival killed a cat and added some spice
Cilantro, onion, cumin
Bitter greens, fragrant basil
But he forgot the salt
It’s just that Genival was going through a huge rage
And decided to throw a feast for the devil
To make a name for himself and boost his gains
He tried to throw a feast for the doctor devil

On Holy Thursday, Genival had a drink in each hand
Roasted a cat and hit the crossroads
He poured the liquor and the cat on the ground
It was midnight, way past time
And he said: Now’s the time! Whoever wants to eat the cat, come on down

You better watch out, Genival
One of these days, you’re gonna get in trouble
A gust of wind started howling
A black goat appeared with bulging eyes
A mangy dog, with swollen eyes
A pig missing a quarter
A cat missing a side
Genival freaked out, fell into a daze
The pig was grunting, the cat was meowing, the dog was barking
The goat was bleating, snorting through its nose and yelling
Baa baa, baby, baa
A hoarse voice shouted
I saw it lying down, it’s alive!

Call the witch to bleed it out
Put it on the bamboo to skin it
They shouted, laughed, and acted up
Ate the cat, drank the liquor
In a cloud of smoke, they disappeared into the air
Poor Genival!
Almost shit his pants
He lost his mind in the chaos
He tumbled, rolled in the mess
Cauê, caô, camará
