Os Saltimbancos
The Donkey
Donkey is not
Donkey is not
The great hustler of the square
Works, works for free
Doesn't please anyone
Doesn't even have a name
Is gentle and doesn't misbehave
But when the carcass threatens to crack
What kicks, what kicks
What kicks it gives
The bread, the flour, beans, dried meat
Who carries them? Hi-ho
The bread, the flour, the beans, dried meat
Lemon, tangerine, papaya, watermelon
Who carries them? Hi-ho
The bread, the flour, beans, dried meat
Lemon, tangerine, papaya, watermelon
The sand, the cement, the brick, the quarry
Who carries them? Hi-ho
Donkey is not
Donkey is not
The great hustler of the square
Works, works for free
Doesn't please anyone
Doesn't even have a name
Is gentle and doesn't misbehave
But when the carcass threatens to crack
What kicks, what kicks
What kicks it gives
Hi-hooooooooo
