Full lyrics
Tudo que não presta, que se cuide o motorista
Tudo que engrossa, vai pra banda do chofer
Um chofer não sabe, o que é um natal
Nem um ano novo, ate mesmo um carnaval
Trabalha o ano inteiro, igualmente a um animal
E o patrão não acredita quando ele passa mal
A caminhoneira estava na janela
Buzinei pra ela e um gringo apareceu
Pois nasceu um menino de cabelo de inglês
Dos olhos de japonês, e dizem que o menino é meu
O chofer trabalha, para engordar o patrão
Deixa a mulher em casa e vai morar no caminhão
Roda o mundo inteiro, polpa óleo e gasolina
E buzina na esquina avisando o Ricardão
Translation
Everything that's no good, the driver better watch out
Everything that gets thick, goes to the driver's side
Everything that's no good, the driver better watch out
Everything that gets thick, goes to the driver's side
A driver doesn't know what Christmas is
Nor a New Year, not even Carnival
He works all year, just like an animal
And the boss doesn't believe it when he gets sick
The trucker was at the window
I honked at her and a foreigner appeared
Then a boy was born with English hair
With Japanese eyes, and they say the boy is mine
The driver works to fatten up the boss
He leaves his wife at home and goes to live in the truck
He travels the whole world, saves oil and gasoline
And honks on the corner, warning Ricardão
