Full lyrics
Veio mole assim, já faz tempo que eu não vejo.
Ainda é do tempo de gazolla e realejo
Se deita e não levanta, diz que é reumatismo
E que no brasil só da imperialismo
Recita verso antigo, que sabe de cor.
Vive só dizendo que seu tempo era melhor
Se vai uma festa, só vai atrapalhar.
A moçada canta só pra chatear
Ô veio mole, ô veio mole.
Menina lhe da sopa e ele nem se bole
É um solteirão já pertinho dos 60
Veste sempre, sempre e um terno de cor cinzenta.
Sapato pé de anjo, muito antigo, bico fino.
E um correntão do seu tempo de menino
Ate uma mocinha dele andou enciumada
Porque uma velhota, estava do seu lado.
A menina interessada ao velho se encostou
O velho nada quis a coroa chateou
Translation
Old man came so weak, it's been a while since I've seen him.
He's still from the time of gazolla and realejo
He lies down and doesn't get up, says it's rheumatism
And that in Brazil there's only imperialism
He recites old verse, which he knows by heart.
He only says that his time was better
If he goes to a party, he'll only get in the way.
The youngsters sing just to annoy him
Oh weak old man, oh weak old man.
The girl gives him soup and he doesn't even budge
He's a bachelor already close to 60
He always, always wears a gray suit.
Angel foot shoes, very old, pointy toe.
And a big chain from his childhood
Even a young girl got jealous of him
Because an old woman was by his side.
The interested girl leaned on the old man
The old man wanted nothing, the old woman got annoyed
Oh weak old man, oh weak old man.
The girl gives him soup and he doesn't even budge
