Full lyrics
Sou o chofer de estrada
Sou um chofer carreteiro
Rodando de Norte a sul
Neste torrão brasileiro
De manha quando o sol nasce
Eu esquento meu motor
Fé na santa aparecido
E pé no acelerador
Com a carreta bonita
Na estrada sou o maior
E trato os meus colegas
Igual burra a pão de ló
Eu tenho orgulho da classe
De ser um bom carreteiro
Com os braços eu transporto
O Progresso brasileiro
Quem passar por carreteiro
De um sinal de farol
Desejem boa viagem
Pois eu sou do meu Rol
Translation
I'm a highway driver
I'm a truck driver
Driving from North to South
In this Brazilian land
In the morning when the sun rises
I warm up my engine
Faith in Saint Aparecida
And foot on the accelerator
With the beautiful truck
On the road I'm the greatest
And I treat my colleagues
Like a donkey with sponge cake
I'm proud of the class
Of being a good truck driver
With my arms I transport
The Brazilian Progress
Whoever passes by a truck driver
Give a headlight signal
Wish them a good trip
Because I'm from my Roll
