Full lyrics

Dinheiro faz muita coisa

Faz amigo e faz o inimigo

Fez meu amor me deixar

E nunca mais falar comigo


Faz filho brigar com o pai

Faz mulher deixar marido

Um santo padre falou

Que o dinheiro é um perigo

Faz fraco bancar um valente

Honesto perder a razão

É o pivô das tragédias

Guerra em toda nação


Faz greve no mundo inteiro

Causando destruição

Faz pai obrigar a filha

A se casar com ancião

Faz a infelicidade

De moça branca dos olhos azuis

Também fez Judas trair

O nosso querido Jesus

Translation

Money does many things

Makes friends and makes enemies

Made my love leave me

And never speak to me again


Makes son fight with father

Makes woman leave husband

A holy father said

That money is a danger

Makes the weak act brave

Honest man lose his reason

It is the pivot of tragedies

War in every nation


Makes strikes all over the world

Causing destruction

Makes father force daughter

To marry an old man

Makes the unhappiness

Of a white girl with blue eyes

Also made Judas betray

Our beloved Jesus
