English term or phrase: “And I’m the coc* that gets on it to crow.”
From Ernest Hemmingway, The Snows of Kilimanjaro

“At the Crillon.

You know that.”

“Why do I know that?”

“That’s where we always stayed.”

“No.

Not always.”

“There and at the Pavillion Henri-Quatre in St. Germain.

You said you loved it there.”

“Love is a dunghill,” said Harry.

“And I’m the cock that gets on it to crow.”

Portuguese translation:e eu sou o galo que sobe nela para cantar
Explanation:
Já li o conto mas não lembro do contexto, se alguma adaptação de estilo seria interessante:

"O amor é uma pilha de merda", disse Harry.
"E eu sou o galo que, ainda assim, sobe nela para cantar o raiar do dia."

Ou
"E eu sou o galo que sobe nela para anunciar o amanhecer"

Ou é isso ou não acordei ainda.

And I’m the cock that gets on it to crow.
E eu sou o rei desse castelo


Explanation:
Vai depender muito de como você traduzir dunghill, mas aqui vai uma sugestão, um pontapé inicial:

Love is a dunghill,
And I’m the cock that gets on it to crow.

O amor é um castelo de merda,
E eu sou o rei desse castelo.

E eu sou o galo a cantar no alto dele.


Explanation:
My suggestion for the whole sentence would be "O amor é um monte de estrume. E eu sou o galo a cantar no alto dele". In a pt-pt edition from Livros do Brasil Publishing it was translated as "Gostar é um monte de estrume. Sou galo que só gosta de cantar sobre a estrumeira." ISBN 972 - 38 -2770 - 0
