English Translation

Levantei-me da cama sem poder,

I got up from bed unable to,

Até hoje ninguém vem me ver,

Until today, no one comes to see me,

Fui amigo enquanto eu tive dinheiro,

I was a friend while I had money,

Hoje eu não tenho companheiro.

Today, I have no companion.


Hoje eles fogem de mim mas não faz mal,

Today, they run away from me, but it doesn't matter,

Amigo é só pra levar meu capital,

A friend is only to take my capital,

Se não fosse a dona Augusta e a dona Carola,

If it weren't for Mrs. Augusta and Mrs. Carola,

Eu saia do hospital de camisola.

I would leave the hospital in a nightgown.


Levantei-me da cama sem poder,

I got up from bed unable to,

Até hoje ninguém vem me ver,

Until today, no one comes to see me,

Fui amigo enquanto eu tive dinheiro,

I was a friend while I had money,

Hoje eu não tenho companheiro.

Today, I have no companion.


Hoje eles fogem de mim mas não faz mal,

Today, they run away from me, but it doesn't matter,

Amigo é só pra levar meu capital,

A friend is only to take my capital,

Se não fosse a dona Augusta e a dona Carola,

If it weren't for Mrs. Augusta and Mrs. Carola,

Eu saia do hospital de camisola....

I would leave the hospital in a nightgown...
