Boca de Sapo

Sewed up in the toad's mouth
A leftover of mush
The scraps from the plate that the duck left behind.
Then laughed like Exu Caveira:
An unfaithful husband is gonna get tripped up. Repeat
And tied the toad's legs
With a glass string
That he thought he had lost.
Then laughed like Exu Caveira:
An unfaithful husband is gonna get tripped up. Repeat
You look pale, Honorato, like chalk,
Wilted like the toad, Honorato,
In the yard.
Not a sign of your laughter, Honorato.
If the toad dances, Honorato,
You’re out of luck.
He withered and woke up from a dream
Telling the trick,
And said to the crazy lady: my saint avenges me.
But she laughed like Exu Caveira:
An unfaithful husband is gonna get tripped up. Repeat
And begged: "Boss, forgive me.
I want to live.
Keep my eyes away from Obaluaiê."
But she laughed like Exu Caveira:
An unfaithful husband is gonna get tripped up. Repeat
You’re turning into a stick, Honorato,
Dry like the toad, Honorato,
In the yard.
Pray, Honorato, what the hell.
Nothing saves the toad, Honorato,
From this curse.
