O Dono da Bola Lyrics Translation in English

Ele era o dono da bola mas não passava direito

He was the owner of the ball but couldn't pass it right

- não passava direito -

- couldn't pass it right -

Sempre batia com efeito, botava no peito e depois na cabeça.

Always kicked with flair, controlled it with the chest and then with the head

Queria fazer de tabela

Wanted to play with one-two passes

E ainda dava de trela

And even gave a scolding

Com a trava no chão e ainda dizia são

With the ball on the ground, still claimed it's okay

Que o futebol é uma merda,

That football is crap,

- Só gosto do Paulistão!

- Only like the Paulistão (São Paulo State Championship)!

Ele era o dono da bola

He was the owner of the ball

Por isso tava com tudo

That's why he had everything

Ficava até meio mudo e ainda por cima puto

Would even become somewhat silent and also pissed off

Com a seleção brasileira

With the Brazilian national team

Que não tinha nenhum pernambucano lá

Which didn't have any Pernambucan there

Pra bater um bolão - era uma enrolação -

To play a great game - it was a hassle -

Mas em que ainda tinha um baiano,

But at least there was a Bahian,

Podia ter salvação, podia ter salvação!!

There could be salvation, there could be salvation!!

O dono da bola enrola e só joga de beque

The owner of the ball fools around and only plays as a defender

No fundo era um moleque que só queria atenção.

Deep down, he was just a kid who only wanted attention
