Full lyrics

E uma tristeza

Uma infelicidade

Ouvir meu nome na patrulha da cidade


Seu moço eu não sou de briga

E nem gosto de confusão

Respeito pra ser respeitado

Creio que estou com a razão

Sou casado tenho filho

Minha mulher me quer bem

Mais morar pertinho da sogra

Não esta cheirando bem


Quando eu chego do trabalho

Minha mulher me abraça

Porem minha sogra diz

Já vem chegando o cachaça

Me botou um apelido

Só me chama estraga raça


Outro dia minha sogra

Quis me bater de colher

Porque eu falei baixinho

Que o bom mesmo era o Mané

Mas a velhinha paulista

Me chamou de jacaré

Ela torce pro Pelé

Translation

And a sadness

An unhappiness

To hear my name on the city patrol


Young man, I'm not one for fighting

And I don't like confusion

Respect to be respected

I believe I am in the right

I am married, I have a child

My wife loves me well

But living very close to my mother-in-law

Is not smelling good


When I arrive from work

My wife hugs me

But my mother-in-law says

Here comes the cachaça

She gave me a nickname

She only calls me "race spoiler"


The other day my mother-in-law

Wanted to hit me with a spoon

Because I said softly

That the good one was Mané

But the little old lady paulista

Called me a jacaré

She roots for Pelé
