Sucumbiu Lyrics Translation in English

Dizem que a vida está boa e a coisa está melhorando

They say life is good and things are improving

Que mentira esfarrapada, que piada estão contando

What a tattered lie, what a joke they are telling

Eu saí pra fazer compras, mas o preço já subiu

I went out to do some shopping, but the prices have already gone up

Quando abri minha carteira o negócio sucumbiu

When I opened my wallet, the business succumbed

Sucumbiu, sucumbiu o negócio sucumbiu

Succumbed, succumbed, the business succumbed

Sucumbiu, sucumbiu o negócio sucumbiu

Succumbed, succumbed, the business succumbed

Pra mostra que a vida é dura, pra gente ganhar o pão

To show that life is tough, for us to earn our bread

Vou contar o que aconteceu numa festa de peão

I'll tell you what happened at a cowboy party

O povo estava animado quando a porteira se abriu

The people were excited when the gate opened

O cowboy beijou a arena e o negócio sucumbiu

The cowboy kissed the arena, and the business succumbed

Sucumbiu, sucumbiu o negócio sucumbiu

Succumbed, succumbed, the business succumbed

Sucumbiu, sucumbiu o negócio sucumbiu

Succumbed, succumbed, the business succumbed

Pra esquecer os meus problemas eu me amparo no amor

To forget my problems, I rely on love

Pra esquecer que quando esfria, tô com pouco cobertor

To forget that when it gets cold, I have little blanket

Eu estava no escuro da varanda o velho viu

I was in the dark on the veranda, the old man saw

Dando um trato na menina e o negócio sucumbiu

Giving attention to the girl, and the business succumbed

Sucumbiu, sucumbiu o negócio sucumbiu

Succumbed, succumbed, the business succumbed

Sucumbiu, sucumbiu o negócio sucumbiu

Succumbed, succumbed, the business succumbed
