Full lyrics
Tá tudo bom?
Tá tudo bom?
Tá tudo bom pras uns
Prá outros não } bis
Pra muita gente
A vida é bem vivida
De beleza, fartura e divertida
Mas tem gente
Que vive por viver
E pra não morrer
Vive enganando a vida
Enquanto isso
A vida vai levando
Muita gente vai passando
Pela vida sem viver
O bom da vida
Todo mundo sabe ter
Não precisa pra ninguém eu explicar
Por isso eu digo
Que a vida é um pagode
Muita gente que não pode
Neste pagode brincar
Quem pode, pode
Quem não pode, se sacode
Quanta gente vai levando
A vida assim ao Deus dará
Translation
Is everything good?
Is everything good?
Everything is good for some
For others, no } bis
For many people
Life is well-lived
With beauty, abundance, and fun
But there are people
Who live just to live
And so as not to die
Live deceiving life
Meanwhile
Life goes on
Many people pass
Through life without living
The good part of life
Everyone knows how to have
I don't need to explain to anyone
That's why I say
That life is a pagode
Many people who cannot
Play in this pagode
Whoever can, can
Whoever cannot, makes do
How many people are living
Life like this, to God's will
