Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Encontrei o meu pedaço na Avenida

I found my sweetheart on Avenida


De camisa amarela

In a yellow shirt


Cantando a Florisbela, oi, a Florisbela

Singing to Florisbela, hey, Florisbela


Convidei-o a voltar pra casa

I invited him to come back home


Em minha companhia

In my company


Exibiu-me um sorriso de ironia

He showed me a smile of irony


Desapareceu no turbilhão da Galeria

Disappeared in the whirlwind of the Gallery


Não estava nada bom

It wasn't good at all


O meu pedaço na verdade

My sweetheart, in truth


Estava bem mamado

Was quite drunk


Bem chumbado, atravessado

Quite plastered, all crossed


Foi por aí cambaleando

He staggered that way


Se acabando num cordão

Ending up in a crowd


Com um reco-reco na mão

With a reco-reco in hand


Mais tarde o encontrei

Later I found him


Num café zurrapa

In a cheap cafe


Do Largo da Lapa

In Largo da Lapa


Folião de raça

A dedicated reveler


Bebendo o quinto copo de cachaça

Drinking the fifth glass of cachaça


Isto não é chalaça

This is no joke


Voltou às sete horas da manhã

He returned at seven in the morning


Mas só na quarta-feira

But only on Wednesday


Cantando A jardineira, oi, A jardineira

Singing "A Jardineira," hey, "A Jardineira"


Me pediu ainda zonzo

Still dizzy, he asked me


Um copo d'água com bicarbonato

For a glass of water with baking soda


Meu pedaço estava ruim de fato

My sweetheart was really in a bad state


Pois caiu na cama

Because he fell on the bed


E não tirou nem o sapato

And didn't even take off his shoes


E roncou uma semana

And snored for a week


Despertou mal-humorado

Woke up grumpy


Quis brigar comigo

Wanted to fight with me


Que perigo, mas não ligo!

What a danger, but I don't mind!


O meu pedaço me domina

My sweetheart dominates me


Me fascina, ele é o tal

Fascinates me, he's the one


Por isso não levo mal

That's why I don't take offense


Pegou a camisa, a camisa amarela

He grabbed the shirt, the yellow shirt


Botou fogo nela

Set it on fire


Gosto dele assim

I like him like that


Passou a brincadeira

The joke passed


E ele é pra mim

And he is to me


Meu Sinhô do Bonfim

My Lord of Bonfim
