Ronaldo Lyrics Translation in English

O nome dele era Ronaldo

The name was Ronaldo

Passou sem estudar pra medicina

He went through without studying for medicine

Centro avante titular

Starting forward

Finalizava com a esquerda e com a direita

He finished with both left and right

Pagava plano de saúde pra mãe e pros irmãos

He paid health insurance for his mother and siblings

Água luz TV a cabo e comida

Water, electricity, cable TV, and food

Tocava e cantava João Gilberto e Tom Jobim

Played and sang João Gilberto and Tom Jobim

E ainda era um grande chefe de cozinha

And he was still a great chef

Não queria nada com ninguém

He wanted nothing with anyone

E era o mais bonito

And he was the most handsome

Negão sarado educado bem dotado

Well-built educated well-endowed black man

Direto do mundo encantado dos quadrinhos

Straight from the enchanted world of comics

Fazia tudo o que lia no manual

He did everything he read in the manual

Mas esqueceu de pesquisar o sentido das palavras

But forgot to investigate the meaning of words

Até que um dia ser normal não era tão real

Until one day being normal wasn't so real

Já não era

It wasn't anymore

O tempo passou

Time passed

E o macho alfa falhou

And the alpha male failed

Passou a dar sinal

Started giving signals

Não foi por falta de esforço das suas tias

It wasn't for lack of effort from his aunts

Que passavam os dias

Who spent their days

Na missão matrimonial

In matrimonial mission

Ronaldo estava irreconhecível

Ronaldo was unrecognizable

So pensava em ir pra Califórnia

Only thought about going to California

Bebia absinto, tinha piercing no mamilo

Drank absinthe, had a nipple piercing

Ouvia Queen e Petshop Boys

Listened to Queen and Petshop Boys

Agora ele gostava de alguém

Now he liked someone

De um loiro alto bonito

A tall, handsome blonde

Apedrejado injustiçado

Stoned, unjustly accused

Assumido apaixonado

Admittedly in love

O Dick Vigarista dos quadrinhos

The Dick Dastardly of comics

Pesquisou as origens do manual

Researched the origins of the manual

Leu Freud, Sartre, Oscar Wilde e Simone de Beauvoir

Read Freud, Sartre, Oscar Wilde, and Simone de Beauvoir

Era mais um morto vivo do mundo real

Was just another living dead in the real world

Mas se salvou

But he saved himself
