Full lyrics
Aprendi com a chuva
Você não quis me ensinar
Fiz toalha do sol também
Você não quis me enxugar
Eu fui jogado entre as feras
Olho por olho é a lei
Qualquer dia eu enfrento sua guerra
E minhas balas têm gosto de hortelã
Eu sou a terrível febre amarela
E o veneno da cobra e da maçã
Translation
I learned from the rain
You didn't want to teach me
I made a towel from the sun too
You didn't want to dry me
I was thrown among the beasts
An eye for an eye is the law
Any day I'll face your war
And my bullets taste like mint
I am the terrible yellow fever
And the poison of the snake and the apple
