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


(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 de 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


(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)

E 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)


Se chegar o Germano (vou cortando o pano)

Se chegar o Fulano (vou cortando o pano)

E se chegar o Sicrano (vou cortando o pano)

Mas vai cortando o pano (vou cortando o pano)


E se queimar o pano...

Translation

I messed up the cut, Mr. Zé Mariano

I apologize for my mistake

I'm a first-year tailor

I grab the scissors and start cutting the fabric


(Oh, oh)

(What an ungrateful life a tailor has)

When he makes a mistake, he ruins the whole fabric

When he gets it right, the clothes don't fit


(Oh, oh)

(What an ungrateful life a tailor has)

When he makes a mistake, he ruins the whole fabric

When he gets it right, the clothes don't fit


I made a suit for José, my brother

It was too short because there was a mistake

I'm a first-year tailor

I grab the scissors and start cutting the fabric


(Oh, oh)

(What an ungrateful life a tailor has)

When he makes a mistake, he ruins the whole fabric

When he gets it right, the clothes don't fit


(Oh, oh)

(What an ungrateful life a tailor has)

When he makes a mistake, he ruins the whole fabric

When he gets it right, the clothes don't fit


If Mr. Mano arrives (I'll keep cutting the fabric)

Keep cutting the fabric (I'll keep cutting the fabric)

And if the fabric gets ruined (I'll keep cutting the fabric)

Keep cutting the fabric (I'll keep cutting the fabric)


If the fabric gets punctured (I'll keep cutting the fabric)

Keep cutting the fabric (I'll keep cutting the fabric)

And if the fabric gets burned (I'll keep cutting the fabric)

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)

And if Sicrano arrives (I'll keep cutting the fabric)

But keep cutting the fabric (I'll keep cutting the fabric)

But keep cutting the fabric (I'll keep cutting the fabric)


Get out of here, Bahian

You're bothering me, pest

I'm a tough guy


I'm a first-year tailor

But I make clothes for anyone

I only mess up when there's a mistake

If God helps, the suit turns out cool


According to the North American system

I don't make clothes for just anyone

I also don't cut for you, Bahian

I'm brave, I'm from Pernambuco


When I get angry, I slam my hand on the pipe

I squeeze my finger, the marrow comes out right away

I'm a first-year tailor

I grab the scissors and start cutting the fabric


And if there's no fabric (I'll keep cutting the fabric)

And if Mr. Mano arrives (I'll keep cutting the fabric)

But keep cutting the fabric (I'll keep cutting the fabric)


And if there's no fabric (I'll keep cutting the fabric)

But keep cutting the fabric (I'll keep cutting the fabric)

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)

And if Sicrano arrives (I'll keep cutting the fabric)

But keep cutting the fabric (I'll keep cutting the fabric)


And if the fabric gets burned...
