Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Como não sou bom de bolso tenho que ser bom de prosa

As I'm not good with money, I have to be good with words

Viver falando da rosa, saber cantar o amor

Living talking about the rose, knowing how to sing about love

Tenho que ser bom de verso, fazer um monte de rima

I have to be good with verses, create a bunch of rhymes

Tenho que inventar um clima, qualquer coisa pra espantar a dor

I have to invent a mood, anything to drive away the pain

Como não sou bom de prata tento ser bom de parola

As I'm not good with silver, I try to be good with talk

Tocar a minha viola, ser eterno cantador

Play my guitar, be an eternal singer

Saber cheirar um cangote, ser um pote de doçura

Know how to smell a neck, be a pot of sweetness

Semeador de ternura, ser balaio de fulô

Sower of tenderness, be a basket of wildflowers

Te peço, fique comigo aqui na minha cabana

I ask you, stay with me here in my cabin

Não te prometo 'titica' de grana

I don't promise you a bit of money

Mas o meu mais puro amor

But my purest love

Ficando aqui terás verso e poesia

By staying here, you will have verse and poetry

Mil carinhos noite e dia

A thousand caresses night and day

E a alegria de um cabra namorador

And the joy of a man who loves to court

Como não sou bom de banco tenho que ser bom de cama

As I'm not good with a bank, I have to be good in bed

Manter acesa a chama, ser um bom conquistador

Keep the flame burning, be a good conqueror

Tenho que ser bom de lero, bom de beijo e de abraço

I have to be good at talking, good at kissing and hugging

Dançar dentro do compasso, ter um peito acolhedo

Dance within the beat, have a welcoming chest
