Full lyrics

Quem corre cansa, devagar também se alcança

Atrás de uma bola corre sempre uma criança


Meu caro amigo se você é motorista

Siga na pista com cuidado e com critério

Velocidade nunca trás bom resultado

Ande chegar tarde em casa do que cedo ao cemitério


Repare os freios muito antes da partida

E no volante não se deve conversar

Marcha continua é sinal que tem lombada

Não ultrapasse que o perigo vem de lá


Vem de lá, vem de lá, vem de lá

Não ultrapasse que o perigo vem de lá

Translation

Whoever runs gets tired, slowly you also reach

A child always runs after a ball


My dear friend, if you are a driver

Stay on the road with care and criteria

Speed never brings good results

It's better to arrive home late than early to the cemetery


Check the brakes well before departure

And you shouldn't talk on the steering wheel

Continuous gear is a sign that there is a speed bump

Do not overtake, the danger comes from there


It comes from there, it comes from there, it comes from there

Do not overtake, the danger comes from there
