Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Tava matutando, na vida pensando onde é que vai dar

Was thinking, pondering life, wondering where it will lead

Esse mundo danado, povo atrapalhado, só sabe chorar

This darn world, confused people, only know how to cry

Mesmo depois da ceia, de barriga cheia, pega a reclamar

Even after the feast, with a full belly, they start to complain

Comeu camarão, lamentando não ter o tal caviar

Ate shrimp, lamenting not having that caviar

Nóis come contente feijão com farinha, abobrinha e jabá

We happily eat beans with flour, zucchini, and salted meat

Dia sim, dia não, farinha e feijão que é pra não enjoar

Every other day, flour and beans, so as not to get tired


Tem neguinho na piscina tomando cerveja de papo pro ar

Some folks in the pool drinking beer, carefree

Mal dizendo a vida queria tá mesmo é no guarujá

Bad-mouthing life, wishing they were in Guarujá

Com cascalho no bolso e mulher bonita pra vida gozar

With money in their pockets and a beautiful woman to enjoy life

Carrão importado, picanha na brasa e champanhe pra tomar

Imported car, barbecue steak, and champagne to drink

Oh nós bebe cachaça e come mortadela cantando nos bar

We drink cachaça and eat bologna, singing in the bars

Só nos fim de semana, porque todo dia a grana não dá

Only on weekends because every day there's not enough money


Tem uns cabras ricaços com monte de empresas pra administrar

Some rich guys with lots of businesses to manage

Fazendas de gado, dólar na suíça, nem dá pra contar

Cattle ranches, dollars in Switzerland, too many to count

Conhece o mundo inteiro por água, por terra e até pelo ar

They know the whole world by water, by land, and even by air

Ainda quer se eleger deputado ou prefeito mas pra que será?

Still want to be elected as a deputy or mayor, but for what?

Oh nós no batente, na obra, na roça e no canavial

We, on the job, in the fields, and in the sugarcane plantation

Economizando pra no fim do ano a mãe ir visitar

Saving up so that at the end of the year, mom can visit
