Translation of the song lyrics Lobo Bobo (Foolish Wolf) - João Gilberto

Lobo Bobo (Foolish Wolf) (original)

Era uma vez um lobo mau
Que resolveu jantar alguem
Estava sem vintem
Era uma vez um lobo mau
Que resolveu jantar alguem
Estava sem vintem
Mas arriscou
E logo se estrepou
Um chapeuzinho de maio
Ouviu buzina e nao parou
Mas lobo mau insiste
Faz cara de triste
Mas chapeuzinho ouviu
Os conselhos da vovo
Dizer que nao pra lobo
Que com lobo nao sai só
Lobo canta, pede promete
Tudo ate amor
E diz que fraco de lobo
É ver um chapeuzinho de maio
Chapeuzinho percebeu
Que o lobo mau se derreteu
Pra vez voces que lobo
Tambem faz pápel de bobo
So posso lhe dizer
Chapeuzinho agora traz
Um lobo na coleira que
Nao janta nunca mais
Lobo bobo…

(translation)

There once was a big bad wolf
Who decided to have dinner with someone
I was out of twenty
There once was a big bad wolf
Who decided to have dinner with someone
I was out of twenty
but risked
And then he fell apart
A little May hat
Heard the horn and didn't stop
But big bad wolf insists
Makes a sad face
But little hat heard
The grandmother's advice
say no to wolf
That with a wolf you don't go alone
Wolf sings, asks for promises
all until love
And says that weak wolf
It's seeing a little hat in May
Little Red Riding Hood noticed
That the bad wolf melted
For once you what a wolf
Also plays the role of fool
I can only tell you
Little Riding Hood now bring
A wolf on a leash that
never have dinner again
silly wolf...
