Full lyrics

Malandro não tem vida fácil

Não leva desaforo em botequim

Sonhando ter o seu palácio de marfim

Não gasta o seu dindim se for chinfrim

Tem que sacrificar o pobre gato

Pra vestir bom sapato e cetim

Brincar seu carnaval

Criar seu curumim

Comparecer e agradecer na igreja do bonfim


E no cabelo dar um trato

E o hálito não pode estar ruim

Leitura para conversa mole de pudim

Carcaça pra lutar até o fim

Tem que receber ordens no trabalho

Mesmo sem concordar dizer sim

E para desengomar arranha um bandolim

Um cavaquinho, um violão, pandeiro e tamborim


Pra se prevenir das ilusões

Vai ter que amar com vários corações

O disco certo do roberto

Gilberto ou do jobim

Matando o amor com balas de festim


E no cabelo dar um trato

E o hálito não pode estar ruim

Leitura para conversa mole de pudim

Carcaça para lutar até o fim

Tem que receber ordens no trabalho

Mesmo sem concordar dizer sim

E para desengomar arranha um bandolim

Um cavaquinho, um violão, pandeiro e tamborim

Translation

A rascal's life isn't easy

Doesn't take disrespect in a bar

Dreaming of having his ivory palace

Doesn't spend his money if it's shoddy

Has to sacrifice the poor cat

To wear good shoes and satin

Enjoy his carnival

Raise his child

Attend and give thanks at the Bonfim church


And groom his hair

And his breath can't be bad

Reading for silly pudding talk

Body to fight until the end

Has to take orders at work

Even without agreeing, say yes

And to unwind, strums a mandolin

A cavaquinho, a guitar, tambourine and drum


To protect himself from illusions

Will have to love with many hearts

The right record by Roberto

Gilberto or Jobim

Killing love with festive bullets


And groom his hair

And his breath can't be bad

Reading for silly pudding talk

Body to fight until the end

Has to take orders at work

Even without agreeing, say yes

And to unwind, strums a mandolin

A cavaquinho, a guitar, tambourine and drum
