Full lyrics
Vida boa vida alegre, minha vida é um pagode,
Me criei robando cabra, vou morrê robando bode
Me criei robando cabra, vou morrê robando bode
Seu delegado me solta, lhe garanto ao senhor
Se aprendi a roba bode, foi meu pai que me ensinou
Desde o tempo de menino, com o finado meu avô
Desde o tempo de menino, com o finado meu avô
Vida boa vida alegre, minha vida é um pagode,
Me criei robando cabra, vou morrê robando bode
Me criei robando cabra, vou morrê robando bode
Eu tenho 14 filhos, tive o dom de ensinar
Como se roba esses bode, seja qualquer animar
Mando enterrá o couro, moi de não deixá sinar
Mando enterrá o couro, moi de não deixá sinar
Vida boa vida alegre, minha vida é um pagode,
Me criei robando cabra, vou morrê robando bode
Me criei robando cabra, vou morrê robando bode
Não adianta chibata, nem bolo de palmatória
Me soltou robo de novo, e acabou-se a história
Sua glória á ser soldado, roubá bode é minha glória
Sua glória á ser soldado, roubá bode é minha glória
Vida boa vida alegre, minha vida é um pagode,
Me criei robando cabra, vou morrê robando bode
Me criei robando cabra, vou morrê robando bode
Translation
Good life, happy life, my life is a party,
I grew up stealing goats, I'll die stealing goats
I grew up stealing goats, I'll die stealing goats
Mr. Delegate, release me, I assure you, sir
If I learned to steal goats, it was my father who taught me
Since I was a boy, with my late grandfather
Since I was a boy, with my late grandfather
Good life, happy life, my life is a party,
I grew up stealing goats, I'll die stealing goats
I grew up stealing goats, I'll die stealing goats
I have 14 children, I had the gift of teaching
How to steal these goats, no matter what animal
I order the hide to be buried, so as not to leave a trace
I order the hide to be buried, so as not to leave a trace
Good life, happy life, my life is a party,
I grew up stealing goats, I'll die stealing goats
I grew up stealing goats, I'll die stealing goats
Whips are useless, and so are spanking paddles
If you release me, I'll steal again, and that's the end of the story
Your glory is to be a soldier, stealing goats is my glory
Your glory is to be a soldier, stealing goats is my glory
Good life, happy life, my life is a party,
I grew up stealing goats, I'll die stealing goats
I grew up stealing goats, I'll die stealing goats
