Full lyrics
Do que me adianta uma casa grande
E bem mobiliada com rádio e televisão
Se quem cuidava dela ontem foi embora
E me deixou sozinho nessa solidão
Também que me adianta uma cama larga
Para dormir sozinho eu prefiro o chão
Porque ao meu lado não sobra o travesseiro
E nem sinto o frio forte dessa louca paixão (Bis)
Por isso vou vender
Ou então vou alugar
E eu nesta casa sozinho
Não vou mais morar (Bis)
Translation
What good is a big house to me
And well-furnished with radio and television
If the one who took care of it left yesterday
And left me alone in this loneliness
Also what good is a wide bed to me
To sleep alone, I prefer the floor
Because beside me there's no extra pillow
Nor do I feel the strong cold of this crazy passion (Bis)
That's why I'm going to sell it
Or else I'm going to rent it
And I, alone in this house
Will no longer live (Bis)
