Little Red Rooster

Willie Dixon

Lyrics Translation

I got a little red rooster,
Too lazy to crow for day
I got a little red rooster,
Too lazy to crow for day
He keeps everything in the barnyard,
Upset in every way

The dogs begin to bark
The hounds begin to howl
The dogs begin to bark now,
The hounds begin to howl
Watch out all you kin folk
My little red rooster's on the prowl

I tell you that he, keeps all the hens
Fighting among themselves
Keeps all the hens
Fighting among themselves
He don't want no hen in the barnyard
Laying eggs for nobody else

Let me tell everybody, now if you see my red rooster
Send him home
Said, if you see my red rooster
Send him home
I had no peace in the barnyard
Since my red rooster's been gone

I got a little red rooster,
Eu tenho um pequeno galo vermelho
Too lazy to crow for day
Muito preguiçoso para cantar o dia
I got a little red rooster,
Eu tenho um pequeno galo vermelho
Too lazy to crow for day
Muito preguiçoso para cantar o dia
He keeps everything in the barnyard,
Ele guarda tudo no galinheiro
Upset in every way
É perturbado de todas as formas
The dogs begin to bark
Os cães começam a latir
The hounds begin to howl
Os cães de caça começam a uivar
The dogs begin to bark now,
Agora os cães começam a latir
The hounds begin to howl
Os cães de caça começam a uivar
Watch out all you kin folk
Cuidado com todos vocês amigos
My little red rooster's on the prowl
Meu pequeno galo vermelho está à espreita
I tell you that he, keeps all the hens
Eu te digo que ele deixa todas as galinhas
Fighting among themselves
Brigando entre si
Keeps all the hens
Deixa todas as galinhas
Fighting among themselves
Brigando entre si
He don't want no hen in the barnyard
Ele não quer nenhuma galinha no galinheiro
Laying eggs for nobody else
Pondo ovos para mais ninguém
Let me tell everybody, now if you see my red rooster
Vou dizer a todos, agora se você vê meu galo vermelho
Send him home
Mande-o para casa
Said, if you see my red rooster
Disse, se você vê meu galo vermelho
Send him home
Mande-o para casa
I had no peace in the barnyard
Eu não tive mais paz no galinheiro
Since my red rooster's been gone
Desde que meu galo vermelho se foi
