Velho John Lyrics Translation in English

John era um cowboy bacana pra xuxu

John was a really cool cowboy

Não dava mancada, nem causava sururu

He didn't mess up, nor caused a fuss

Só ficava zangado se alguém lhe enchesse o saco

He only got mad if someone bothered him

Ah, o Velho John era mesmo um barato

Ah, old John was really something

Suas transações eram internacionais

His transactions were international

Contas na Suíça, trambiques federais

Swiss bank accounts, federal schemes

Mas John virou bandido, um cowboy à brasileira

But John turned into a bandit, a Brazilian cowboy

Meteu a mão na grana e foi gastando de bobeira

He got his hands on the money and spent it carelessly

Até que um belo dia em uma reunião

Until one beautiful day in a meeting

Todos descobriram que o John era um ladrão

Everyone found out that John was a thief

Agora peguem o John, peguem o John

Now grab John, grab John

Peguem o John, ai ai que medo

Grab John, oh oh, how scary

Agora peguem o John, peguem o John

Now grab John, grab John

peguem o John, fiquei com medo

Grab John, I got scared
