Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

É de madrugada é de madrugada que o galo canta

It's dawn, it's dawn, the rooster crows

É de manha cedo é de manha cedo que se levanta

It's early morning, it's early morning, when one rises


Quando eu cheguei em São Paulo

When I arrived in São Paulo

Dava pena dava dó

It was pitiful, it was sad

Minha mala era um saco

My suitcase was a sack

O cadeado era um nó

The padlock was a knot

Tem muita gente com inveja

There are many people envious

Porque viu que eu subi

Because they saw that I rose

Eu nasci pra trabalhar

I was born to work

Vagabundo pra dormir

A lazy person to sleep


Perdição do vagabundo

The downfall of a lazy person

É gostar do travesseiro

Is to love the pillow

Depois fica de olho gordo

Then they get jealous

Em cima do meu dinheiro

Of my money

Estou com a vida mansa

I have an easy life

Acho ela muito boa

I find it very good

Eu levanto bem cedinho

I wake up very early

Pra fica mais tempo à toa

To have more time to laze around


Quem chegou a general

Those who became a general

Quem chegou a coronel

Those who became a colonel

Levanto de madrugada

I wake up at dawn

Chego cedo no quartel

I arrive early at the barracks

Sem trabalho ninguém vive

Without work, no one lives

Sem trabalho ninguém vai

Without work, no one goes far

Minha gente a vida é dura

My people, life is tough

Cochilou o cachimbo cai

If you doze off, the pipe falls
