Má Intenção Lyrics Translation in English

Pinduca foi trabalhar, vai chover gasolina

Pinduca went to work, it's going to rain gasoline

No bar da esquina, todos dizem que a mandinga da crioula Naná vai pegar

At the corner bar, everyone says that the sorcery of the black woman Naná will catch him

Desde menino que Pinduca tinha medo de correr pra não cansar

Since he was a boy, Pinduca was afraid to run so as not to get tired

Tirou carteira de trabalho

He got his work card

Agora diz que tá querendo batalhar

Now he says he's eager to work

Isso lá no morro foi bastante pra causar um bafafá

That up on the hill caused quite a commotion

Foram recorrer ao pai de santo pra curar esse rapaz

They went to consult the father of saints to heal this guy

Foi muita mandinga, muita pinga, muita reza, muita prece

There was a lot of sorcery, a lot of alcohol, a lot of prayers, a lot of pleas

Finalmente descobriram

Finally they found out

Ele tava a fim de dar uma volta no INPS

He just wanted to take a spin at the INPS
