Full lyrics
Quando era moço me chamavam velho macho
Ele só chamava porque ele era moço
Ele ainda canta ao som dos 120 baixos
É velho e bom de briga e nunca briga por debaixo
Eita velho macho, Eita velho macho
Ainda pisa em brasa, ainda sente o facho
Tem gente dizendo que mudou mais eu não acho
Ele continua e o povo ta querendo
Ele é o rei vocês acham e eu também acho
Eu quero mais respeito com os seus 120 baixos
Translation
When I was young, they called me an old macho man
He only called me that because he was young
He still sings to the sound of the 120 basses
He's old and good at fighting and never fights dirty
Eita old macho man, Eita old macho man
Still steps on embers, still feels the torch
People are saying he's changed, but I don't think so
He continues and the people want him
He is the king, you think, and I think so too
I want more respect for his 120 basses
