Acorda amor
Wake up love
Eu tive um pesadelo agora
I had a nightmare now
Sonhei que tinha gente lá fora
I dreamed there were people outside
Batendo no portão, que aflição
Knocking on the gate, what an affliction
Era a dura, numa muito escura viatura
It was tough, in a very dark car
Minha nossa santa criatura
My our holy creature
Chame, chame, chame lá
Call, call, call
Chame, chame o ladrão, chame o ladrão
Call, call the thief, call the thief
Acorda amor
Wake up love
Não é mais pesadelo nada
Nothing is a nightmare anymore
Tem gente já no vão de escada
There are people already in the stairwell
Fazendo confusão, que aflição
Making confusion, what an affliction
São os homens e eu aqui parado de pijama
It's the men and me standing here in my pajamas
Eu não gosto de passar vexame
I don't like being embarrassed
Chame, chame, chame
Call, call, call
Chame o ladrão, chame o ladrão
Call the thief, call the thief
Se eu demorar uns meses convém, às vezes, você sofrer
If I take a few months, sometimes you suffer
Mas depois de um ano eu não vindo
But after a year I ain't coming
Ponha a roupa de domingo e pode me esquecer
Put on your Sunday clothes and you can forget about me
Acorda amor
Wake up love
Que o bicho é brabo e não sossega
That the animal is angry and won't calm down
Se você corre o bicho pega
If you run, the animal will catch you
Se fica não sei não
If it stays, I don't know
Atenção
Attention
Não demora
It doesn't take long
Dia desses chega a sua hora
These days your time will come
Não discuta à toa não reclame
Don't argue for nothing, don't complain
Clame, chame lá, clame, chame
Cry, call there, cry, call
Chame o ladrão, chame o ladrão, chame o ladrão
Call the thief, call the thief, call the thief
Não esqueça a escova, o sabonete e o violão
Don't forget your brush, soap and guitar
