Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

O que se leva dessa vida

What you take from this life

É o que se come

Is what you eat

É o que se bebe

Is what you drink

É o que se brinca aiá

Is what you play, aiá


Ai como sofre o usurário

Oh, how the usurer suffers

Que tem tanto

Who has so much

Que nem sabe o que fazer

And doesn't even know what to do


Como padece o coitadinho

How the poor one suffers

Que se mata sem ganhar

Who kills themselves without gaining

Nem pra comer

Not even to eat


Eu nada tive

I had nothing

E o que tenho nessa vida

And what I have in this life

São as ruas pra andar

Are the streets to walk


Mas meu consolo

But my consolation

É que essa gente que tem tudo

Is that those people who have everything

No caixão não vai levar

Won't take it in the coffin
