Ratatúia Lyrics Translation in English
Zeca Pagodinho
Portuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Parei na dela
Stopped at hers
Montei casa na favela
Built a house in the favela
Desfilava com a donzela
Paraded with the damsel
Que beleza de mulher
What a beautiful woman
Lhe dei guarida
I gave her shelter
Não queria outra vida
Didn't want another life
Era minha protegida
She was my protected
Era só meu esse filé
This fillet was only mine
Que engano
What a mistake
Ela foi se transformando
She started changing
Meu dinheiro estourando
My money bursting
Olha onde eu fui parar
Look where I ended up
Com nome sujo
With a bad reputation
Não consigo crediário
I can't get credit
Eu um pobre operário
I, a poor worker
Ficou ruim de segurar
It became hard to hold on
Vacilou!
You slipped up!
Vacilou!
You slipped up!
Me tirou de mané
She took me for a fool
Não pensou
Didn't think
Vai voltar pra ralé
Will go back to the riffraff
Já tá provado
It's already proven
Quem nunca comeu melado
Who never tasted honey
Se lambuza até o pé
Gets messy up to the feet
Vacilou!
You slipped up!
Me tirou de mané
She took me for a fool
Não pensou
Didn't think
Vai voltar pra ralé
Will go back to the riffraff
Já tá provado
It's already proven
Quem nunca comeu melado
Who never tasted honey
Se lambuza até o pé
Gets messy up to the feet
Era mãe dela
It was her mother
Irmã dela, tia dela
Her sister, her aunt
Amiga dela, uma cadela
Her friend, a bitch
E só eu pra sustentar
And only I to support
Era uma festa
It was a party
De pagode e a seresta
With samba and serenade
Eu olhava pela fresta
I looked through the crack
Dava medo de entrar
It was scary to enter
Tudo jogado
Everything thrown around
Cerveja pra todo lado
Beer everywhere
Um cheiro de arroz queimado
A smell of burnt rice
E ela querendo zuar
And she wanting to have fun
Mandei embora
I sent her away
Com a sua ratatuia
With her ratatouille
De chinelo, mala e cuia
In slippers, bag, and baggage
Vai sujar outro lugar
Go mess up another place
Vacilou!
You slipped up!
Vacilou!
You slipped up!
Me tirou de mané
She took me for a fool
Não pensou
Didn't think
Vai voltar pra ralé
Will go back to the riffraff
Já tá provado
It's already proven
Quem nunca comeu melado
Who never tasted honey
Se lambuza até o pé
Gets messy up to the feet
Vacilou!
You slipped up!
Me tirou de mané
She took me for a fool
Não pensou
Didn't think
Vai voltar pra ralé
Will go back to the riffraff
Já tá provado
It's already proven
Quem nunca comeu melado
Who never tasted honey
Se lambuza até o pé
Gets messy up to the feet
