Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Quando eu soube que estava canceroso

When I learned that I was cancerous

Ergui louvores ao criador

I praised the creator

Pois me desprezaste

Because you scorned me

Me escorraçaste

You cast me out

Destruindo nosso ninho de amor

Destroying our love nest

Um lar sem varão não vigora

A home without a man does not thrive

Perde de existir toda razão

All reason loses its existence

Mas em boa hora

But in good time

Mandaste-me embora

You sent me away

Aos insultos e pontapés

To insults and kicks

Porta afora

Out the door


Confesso, fiquei temeroso de início

I confess, I was fearful at first

Ao saber da biópsia

Upon learning about the biopsy

O resultado positivo

The positive result

Mas logo quedei-me tranquilo

But soon I became calm

Ao pensar no futuro

Thinking about the future

Pois, homem prevenido

Because, a prudent man

Já tinha feito um seguro

Had already taken out insurance

Terás pelo resto da vida

You will have for the rest of your life

Pensão alimentícia

Alimony

Só não sei o bordel que te encontro

I just don't know which brothel to find you

Para lhe dar a notícia

To give you the news

Nem tampouco se atendes

Nor do I know if you respond

Por Norma, Marli ou Letícia

By Norma, Marli, or Letícia
