Tchacundum

Flávio Paiva

In Brazil, tchacundum, cashcata, cashcundum, and cashkiti, are made-up words that children sing to imitate the sound of a horse galloping when they image they are riding.

Tchacundum
Tchacundum, cashcata, cashcata, cashcata,
Tchacundum cashcata, cashcundum
Cashcati cashkiti, cashcata

Yeah, cashcatá, cashcatá, cashcatá,
Cashcat, Cashcat, Cashcat,
Cashcat, Cashcat

Let’s go, my child
Let’s play right now
Let’s go with mommy
Let’s go with daddy

Ai ai ai ai
Let’s dance and shake
Tchacundum
Tchacundum have a ride on my back
Tchacundum
Tchacundum what a fun piggyback

Let’s clap our hands
and stamp our feet
Let’s nod our heads
in time to the beat

Let’s laugh out loud
and snap our fingers
oh what a laugh
Ha! Ha! Ha!

Tchacundum
Tchacundum have a ride on my back
Tchacundum
Tchacundum what a fun piggyback

  • What a night, Torito!
