Cumprimenta com a cabeça Jorgina, a cozinheira, quando ela chega para trabalhar, e ouve as galinhas d'angola repisarem o seu bordão, tô-fraco, to fraco, e observa o cachorro a se coçar com a pata traseira.

Explanation:
La expresión significa lo que dijo Alejandra, pero te recomiendo no traducir, pero repetir la expresión en portugués, explicándo-la en nota. Se trata del sonido producido por las aves, que parecen decir aquellas palabras, que en portugués significan "estoy debil".
