English Translation

A sala cala e o jornal prepara quem está na sala

The room falls silent, and the newspaper prepares those in the room.

Com pipoca e com bala ¾ e o urubu sai voando

With popcorn and with bullets ¾ and the vulture flies away.

O tempo corre e o suor escorre, vem alguém de porre

Time runs, and sweat drips; someone comes in drunk.

Há um corre-corre, e o mocinho chegando, dando.

There's a hustle, and the hero arrives, acting, giving.

Eu esqueço sempre nesta hora (linda, loura)

I always forget at this moment (beautiful, blonde).

Minha velha fuga em todo impasse;

My old escape in every impasse.

Eu esqueço sempre nesta hora (linda loura)

I always forget at this moment (beautiful blonde).

Quanto me custa dar a outra face.

How much it costs me to turn the other cheek.

O tapa estala no balacobaco e é fala com fala

The slap echoes in the chaos, and it's talk with talk.

E é bala com bala e o galã se espalhando, dando.

It's bullet with bullet, and the heartthrob spreading, giving.

No rala-rala quando acaba a bala é faca com faca

In the struggle, when the bullet runs out, it's knife with knife.

É rapa com rapa e eu me realizando, bambo.

It's sweep with sweep, and I'm fulfilling myself, shaky.

Quando a luz acende é uma tristeza (trapo, presa),

When the light comes on, it's a sadness (rag, caught).

Minha coragem muda em cansaço.

My courage turns into fatigue.

Toda fita em série que se preza (dizem, reza)

Every respected series (they say, pray) ends in the best piece.

Acaba sempre no melhor pedaço

It always ends in the best piece.
