Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Andando um dia na rua notei

Walking one day on the street, I noticed

Alguma coisa caída no chão

Something fallen on the ground

Bem curioso aquilo peguei

Quite curious, I picked it up

E sem querer esfreguei minha mão

And unintentionally rubbed my hand


O tal negócio explodindo fez fumaça no ar

The thing exploding made smoke in the air

Meio amedrontado não saí do lugar

Kind of scared, I didn't move from the spot

Um cara em minha frente de repente surgiu

A guy in front of me suddenly appeared

Sem que eu soubesse de onde ele saiu

Without me knowing where he came from


Me agradecendo disse pode pedir

Thanking me, he said, "You can ask"

Todos seus desejos eu terei de cumprir

All your wishes I will fulfill

Hesitei, porém, topei

I hesitated, but I agreed


Eu já sabia a história de cor

I already knew the story by heart

E apressado pedi a melhor

And hurriedly asked for the best

Garota para comigo ficar

A girl to stay with me

E muita grana para farrear

And a lot of money to have a blast


Mas não sabia que o gênio era malandro demais

But I didn't know that the genie was too cunning

Conquistou meu broto me passando pra trás

He won over my girl, deceiving me

E falso era o dinheiro que ele me arranjou

And the money he got me was fake

Quando bronqueei disse que pobre ficou

When I complained, he said I became poor


E jamais um broto conseguiu namorar

And never a girl managed to date

Muito me implorou pedindo para ficar

Begged me a lot, asking to stay

Hesitei, porém, deixei

I hesitated, but I let him


De lá de casa não quer mais sair

From home, he doesn't want to leave anymore

Só sei dizer que com ele aprendi

All I can say is that I learned from him

A não querer tudo fácil demais

Not to want everything too easy

Pois, tudo fácil valor nunca traz

Because everything easy never brings value


Mas não sabia que o gênio era malandro demais

But I didn't know that the genie was too cunning

Conquistou meu broto me passando pra trás

He won over my girl, deceiving me

E falso era o dinheiro que ele me arranjou

And the money he got me was fake

Quando bronqueei disse que pobre ficou

When I complained, he said I became poor


E jamais um broto conseguiu namorar

And never a girl managed to date

Muito me implorou pedindo para ficar

Begged me a lot, asking to stay

Hesitei, porém, deixei

I hesitated, but I let him


De lá de casa não quer mais sair

From home, he doesn't want to leave anymore

Só sei dizer que com ele aprendi

All I can say is that I learned from him

A não querer tudo fácil demais

Not to want everything too easy

Pois, tudo fácil valor nunca traz

Because everything easy never brings value

Pois, tudo fácil valor nunca traz

Because everything easy never brings value

Pois, tudo fácil valor nunca traz (ooh hoh)

Because everything easy never brings value (ooh hoh)

Pois, tudo fácil valor nunca traz

Because everything easy never brings value
