Full lyrics

Botei um roçado pequeno

Plantei pouco coco pra poder limpar

Agora o povo anda dizendo

Que eu sou preguiçoso e que não quero trabalhar

Pra que botar roçado grande

Plantar todo o monte e não poder tratar

Pra que satisfazer o povo

Andar de terno novo e não poder pagar


Pra que andar desconfiado

Sisudo calado de rosto embuchado

Pra que ta com o chapéu no rosto

Sofrendo o desgosto de tanto fiado

Olha meu amigo e camarada

Um pouco com deus é muito, e um muito sem deus é nada

Translation

I planted a small field

I planted few coconuts so I could clean it

Now people are saying

That I'm lazy and don't want to work

Why plant a big field

Plant the whole hill and not be able to take care of it

Why satisfy the people

Wear a new suit and not be able to pay for it


Why walk around distrustful

Sullen, quiet, with a sulky face

Why wear a hat over your face

Suffering the displeasure of so much debt

Look, my friend and comrade

A little with God is a lot, and a lot without God is nothing
