REFRÃO
Eu não sei, não sei não
O que é que eu vou fazer
Pra continuar vivendo nesse mundo cão.
(Coro repete)
Pra dar duro no batente,
Sai às quatro da matina.
Compro logo o jornal
Pra completar a rotina.
Vejo crime, violência,
Tudo que é patifaria.
Fico com a cuca quente,
Lá se foi minha alegria.
REFRÃO
À noitinha quando chego,
Cansado, quase sem vida,
Olho para a garotada, toda pedindo comida.
Ponho as mãos na cabeça, sem saber o que fazer.
A situação tá preta, só Deus pode resolver.
Translation
I don't know, no, I don't know
What I am going to do
To keep living in this cruel world.
To toil away at work,
Leaves at four in the morning.
Buys the newspaper right away
To complete the routine.
I see crime, violence,
All sorts of depravity.
My head gets hot with worry,
There goes my joy.
I don't know, no, I don't know
What I am going to do
To keep living in this cruel world.
In the evening when I arrive,
Tired, almost lifeless,
I look at the kids, all asking for food.
I put my hands on my head, not knowing what to do.
The situation is dire, only God can solve it.
