Full lyrics

Eu era pequenininho

Minha mãe dizia

Meu filho tome cuidado

Não bote o pé em buraco

Tudo que mamãe pedia eu obedecia

Mamãezinha não sabia

Que esse mundo era um buraco


Se agente quer comer, é por um buraco

Se agente quer beber, é por um buraco

Se quer ver suspirar, é por dois buracos

Sem buraco ninguém vive,

Ninguém vive sem buraco


Não adianta agente dar na louca

É muito certo somos pó do mesmo taco

Não adianta esquentar a cuca

A idéia não é maluca

Ninguém vive sem buraco

Translation

I was very little

My mother used to say

My son, be careful

Don't put your foot in a hole

Everything my mom asked, I obeyed

Little mom didn't know

That this world was a hole


If we want to eat, it's through a hole

If we want to drink, it's through a hole

If we want to sigh, it's through two holes

Without a hole, no one lives,

No one lives without a hole


There's no point in going crazy

It's very true we are dust from the same stick

There's no point in stressing your mind

The idea isn't crazy

No one lives without a hole
