Eu queria ser
I wanted to be
Um tipo de compositor
A type of composer
Capaz de cantar nosso amor
Able to sing our love
Modesto
Modest
Um tipo de amor
A kind of love
Que é de mendigar cafuné
What is the point of begging for coffee?
Que é pobre e às vezes nem é
Who is poor and sometimes isn't even
Honesto
Honest
Pechincha de amor
Bargain of love
Mas que eu faço tanta questão
But I care so much
Que se tiver precisão
That if you have precision
Eu furto
I steal
Vem cá, meu amor
Come here, my love
Aguenta o teu cantador
Hold your singer
Me esquenta porque o cobertor é curto
It keeps me warm because the blanket is short
Mas levo esse amor
But I take this love
Com o zelo de quem leva o andor
With the zeal of someone who carries the scaffold
Eu velo pelo meu amor
I watch for my love
Que sonha
What dreams
Que enfim, nosso amor
Finally, our love
Também pode ter seu valor
It can also have its value
Também é um tipo de flor
It is also a type of flower
Que nem outro tipo de flor
Like no other type of flower
Dum tipo que tem
A guy who has
Que não deve nada a ninguém
Who owes nothing to anyone
Que dá mais que maria-sem-vergonha
Who gives more than shameless Maria
Eu queria ser
I wanted to be
Um tipo de compositor
A type of composer
Capaz de cantar nosso amor
Able to sing our love
Barato
Cheap
Um tipo de amor
A kind of love
Que é de esfarrapar e cerzir
What is to be ragged and darned
Que é de comer e cuspir
Which is to eat and spit
No prato
On the plate
Mas levo esse amor
But I take this love
Com o zelo de quem leva o andor
With the zeal of someone who carries the scaffold
Eu velo pelo meu amor
I watch for my love
Que sonha
What dreams
Que enfim, nosso amor
Finally, our love
Também pode ter seu valor
It can also have its value
Também é um tipo de flor
It is also a type of flower
Que nem outro tipo de flor
Like no other type of flower
Dum tipo que tem
A guy who has
Que não deve nada a ninguém
Who owes nothing to anyone
Que dá mais que maria-sem-vergonha
Who gives more than shameless Maria
