Full lyrics

Errei no corte, seu Zé Mariano

Peço desculpas pelo meu engano

Sou alfaiate do primeiro ano

Pego na tesoura e vou cortando o pano


Ai, ai, que vida ingrata

O alfaiate tem

Quando ele erra estraga o pano todo

Quando ele acerta a roupa não convém


Eu fiz um terno pro José meu mano

Ficou curtinho porque houve engano

Sou alfaiate do primeiro ano

Pego na tesoura e vou cortando o pano


Ai, ai, que vida ingrata

O alfaiate tem

Quando ele erra estraga o pano todo

Quando ele acerta a roupa não convém


Se chegar seu mano?

Vou cortando o pano

Vai cortando o pano?

Vou cortando o pano

E se estragar o pano?

Vou cortando o pano

Vai cortando o pano?

Vou cortando o pano

Se furar o pano?

Vou cortando o pano

Vai cortando o pano?

Vou cortando o pano

E se queimar o pano?

Vou cortando o pano

Vai cortando o pano?

Vou cortando o pano

Se chegar o Germano?

Vou cortando o pano

Se chegar o Fulano?

Vou cortando o pano

Se chegar o Sicrano?

Vou cortando o pano

Mas vai cortando o pano?

Vou cortando o pano

Mas vai cortando o pano?

Vou cortando o pano


Sai daqui baiano

Tá me perturbando peste, eu sou valentão

Sou alfaiate do primeiro ano

Mas faço roupa pra qualquer fulano

Só não acerto quando há engano

Se Deus ajuda o terno sai bacano

Pelo sistema norte-americano

Não faço roupa pra qualquer fulano

Também não corto pra você baiano

Eu sou valente, sou pernambucano

Quando eu me zango bato a mão no cano

Aperto o dedo sai logo o tutano

Sou alfaiate do primeiro ano

Pego na tesoura e vou cortando o pano


E se não tiver pano?

Vou cortando o pano

E se chegar seu Mano?

Vou cortando o pano

Mas vai cortando o pano?

Vou cortando o pano

E se não tiver pano?

Vou cortando o pano

Mas vai cortando o pano?

Vou cortando o pano

Vai cortando o pano?

Vou cortando o pano

E se chegar o Gernano?

Vou cortando o pano

Se chegar o Fulano?

Vou cortando o pano

Se chegar o Sicrano?

Vou cortando o pano

Mas vai cortando o pano?

Vou cortando o pano

E se queimar o pano?

Vou cortando o pano

Vai cortando o pano?

Translation

I made a mistake in the cut, Mr. Zé Mariano

I apologize for my mistake

I am a first-year tailor

I pick up the scissors and I go on cutting the fabric


Oh, oh, what an ungrateful life

The tailor has

When he makes a mistake he spoils all the fabric

When he gets it right the clothes don't fit


I made a suit for José, my brother

It turned out too short because there was a mistake

I am a first-year tailor

I pick up the scissors and I go on cutting the fabric


Oh, oh, what an ungrateful life

The tailor has

When he makes a mistake he spoils all the fabric

When he gets it right the clothes don't fit


If your Mano arrives?

I'll keep cutting the fabric

Are you going to keep cutting the fabric?

I'll keep cutting the fabric

And if the fabric gets spoiled?

I'll keep cutting the fabric

Are you going to keep cutting the fabric?

I'll keep cutting the fabric

If the fabric gets a hole?

I'll keep cutting the fabric

Are you going to keep cutting the fabric?

I'll keep cutting the fabric

And if the fabric gets burned?

I'll keep cutting the fabric

Are you going to keep cutting the fabric?

I'll keep cutting the fabric

If Germano arrives?

I'll keep cutting the fabric

If Fulano arrives?

I'll keep cutting the fabric

If Sicrano arrives?

I'll keep cutting the fabric

But are you going to keep cutting the fabric?

I'll keep cutting the fabric

But are you going to keep cutting the fabric?

I'll keep cutting the fabric


Get out of here, baiano

You're bothering me, pest, I'm a tough guy

I am a first-year tailor

But I make clothes for any Fulano

I only don't get it right when there's a mistake

If God helps, the suit turns out great

By the North American system

I don't make clothes for any Fulano

I also don't cut for you, baiano

I am brave, I am pernambucano

When I get angry I hit my hand on the barrel

I squeeze my finger and the marrow comes out

I am a first-year tailor

I pick up the scissors and I go on cutting the fabric


And if there's no fabric?

I'll keep cutting the fabric

And if your Mano arrives?

I'll keep cutting the fabric

But are you going to keep cutting the fabric?

I'll keep cutting the fabric

And if there's no fabric?

I'll keep cutting the fabric

But are you going to keep cutting the fabric?

I'll keep cutting the fabric

Are you going to keep cutting the fabric?

I'll keep cutting the fabric

And if Gernano arrives?

I'll keep cutting the fabric

If Fulano arrives?

I'll keep cutting the fabric

If Sicrano arrives?

I'll keep cutting the fabric

But are you going to keep cutting the fabric?

I'll keep cutting the fabric

And if the fabric gets burned?

I'll keep cutting the fabric

Are you going to keep cutting the fabric?
