Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Aquilo que era mulher

What used to be a woman

Pra não te acordar cedo

So as not to wake you up early

Saia da cama na ponta do pé

She'd leave the bed on tiptoe

Só te chamava tarde

Only called you late

Sabia teu gosto

Knew your taste

Na bandeja café

On the tray, coffee

Chocolate, biscoito

Chocolate, biscuit

Salada de fruta

Fruit salad

Suco de mamão

Papaya juice


No almoço era filé mignon

For lunch, it was filet mignon

Com arroz à la grega

With Greek-style rice

Batata corada

Fried potatoes

Um vinho do bom

A good wine

No jantar era a mesma fartura do almoço

For dinner, the same abundance as lunch

E ainda tinha opção

And there was still an option

É, mas deu mole

Yeah, but you messed up

Ela dispensou você

She turned you down


Chegou em casa outra vez doidão

Came home again, wasted

Brigou com a preta sem razão

Fought with the woman for no reason

Quis comer arroz-doce com quiabo

Wanted to eat rice pudding with okra

Botou sal na batida de limão

Put salt in the lime drink


Deu lavagem ao macaco

Washed the monkey

Banana pro porco

Banana for the pig

Osso pro gato

Bone for the cat

Sardinha ao cachorro

Sardines for the dog

Cachaça pro pato

Cachaça for the duck

Entrou no chuveiro de terno e sapato

Entered the shower in a suit and shoes

Não queria papo

Didn't want to talk

Foi lá pro porão

Went down to the basement

Pegou tresoitão

Grabbed a thirty-eight

Deu tiro na mão do próprio irmão

Shot his own brother's hand

Que quis te segurar

Who tried to hold you

Eu consegui te desarmar

I managed to disarm you


Foi pra rua de novo

Went out on the street again

Entrou no velório pulando a janela

Jumped through the window into the wake

Xingou o defunto, apagou a vela

Insulted the deceased, blew out the candle

Cantou a viúva, mulher de favela

Sang to the widow, a woman from the slum

Deu um beijo nela

Kissed her

O bicho pegou, a polícia chegou

All hell broke loose, the police arrived

Um coro levou, em cana entrou

Caught a beating, went to jail

E ela não te quer mais

And she doesn't want you anymore

Bem feito

Served you right
