Full lyrics
Era malandro demais
Era valente demais
Era bandido demais
Pegava mulher demais
Sacaneava demais
Passava os outros pra trás
Mas, agora, ele jaz
Subiu porque vacilou
O dono do morro decretou
Essas coisas não se resolvem na paz
Ele bebia demais
Ele fumava demais
Cheirava um perfume demais
Jogava demais
Perdia demais
Trapaceava demais
Mas, agora, ele jaz
Subiu porque vacilou
O dono do morro decretou
Essas coisas não se resolvem na paz
Aconteceu o que tinha que acontecer
Aqui não é Hollywood
As balas não são de festim
Se foi mais um filho de Maria
Essa história está longe de um fim
Translation
He was too much of a rogue
He was too brave
He was too much of a bandit
He picked up too many women
He screwed around too much
He screwed others over
But now, he lies
He went up because he messed up
The owner of the hill decreed
These things are not resolved in peace
He drank too much
He smoked too much
He smelled too much of perfume
He gambled too much
He lost too much
He cheated too much
But now, he lies
He went up because he messed up
The owner of the hill decreed
These things are not resolved in peace
What had to happen, happened
This is not Hollywood
The bullets are not blanks
Another son of Mary is gone
This story is far from over
