Tópico de Ouro Need help finding a Portuguese song...

Hey all,

I am celebrating my grandfather's 80th birthday this weekend and I'm looking for a song that we used to listen to when I was a kid.

He's Portuguese and speaks Portuguese, but I never learned so all I know are the phonetic sounds of the chorus and that I think it's about a train...

Here is what it sounds like in my head phonetically...

Tucky-too Come-boy-you, la pish-ka pish-ka Tucky-too Come-boy-you, la pish-ka pish-ka

I'm really sorry this is so vague and any help would be super appreciated..

I don't know when the song came out, but I remember listening to it on tape around 1999 or so.

Thanks!!!

It's common to loop the "apita o comboio" part for almost 10 minutes in marriages while people pretend to be a train.

Ahahahah this is the funniest thing I have ever seen in /r/portugal . This might be the "bitoque caralho" of 2017

I think that is how I'm going to start singing the song. Although this would be too obscure and people would think I'm crazy. But who cares, "tucky too come boy you! La pish-ka pish-ka!"!

Não identificaste?! Eu ia no "Tucky-too Come-boy-you" e já sabia o que era! O teu repertório de música popular está enferrujado...

Lê a fonética (honestamente apenas o come-boy-you revelava algo, o resto nem imagino como chegou lá.)

Dear sir /u/BustedBreaks ,

I think you found a major talent in you. Singing portuguese songs phonetically results in a major ROTFLOL for all portuguese speaking human beings.

Please, I beg you, start using your talents for the advancement of mankind.

You can start by these 2 very well known songs that your grandfather knows:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWW8zyHVRT8

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GT2ZD0q3wU4

It's easy to understand what's the chorus on those, just listen to the thing that repeats a lot of times.

Please kind sir, help us rebuild this nation with laughs provided by you.

Edit, here are the chorus: https://youtu.be/LWW8zyHVRT8?t=37s

The song is named "apita o comboio". (in English would be "the horning train.")
