These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Tenho um peito de lata
I have a tin chest
E um nó de gravata
And a tie knot
No coração
In the heart
Tenho uma vida sensata
I have a sensible life
Sem emoção
No emotion
Tenho uma pressa danada
I'm in a hurry
Não paro pra nada
I don't stop for anything
Não presto atenção
I don't pay attention
Nos versos desta canção
In the verses of this song
Inútil
Useless
Tira a pedra do caminho
Take the stone out of the way
Serve mais um vinho
Serve another wine
Bota vento no moinho
Put wind in the mill
Bota pra correr
Boot to run
Bota força nessa coisa
Put some power into this thing
Que se a coisa pára
That if things stop
A gente fica cara a cara
We come face to face
Cara a cara cara a cara
Face to face face to face
Bota lenha na fornalha
Put firewood in the furnace
Põe fogo na palha
Set the straw on fire
Bota fogo na batalha
Set fire to battle
Bota pra ferver
Bring to a boil
Bota força nessa coisa
Put some power into this thing
Que se a coisa pára
That if things stop
A gente fica cara a cara
We come face to face
Cara a cara cara a cara
Face to face face to face
Tenho um metro quadrado
I have one square meter
Um olho vidrado
A glazed eye
E a televisão
And television
Tenho um sorriso comprado
I have a bought smile
A prestação
The provision
Tenho uma pressa danada
I'm in a hurry
Não paro pra nada
I don't stop for anything
Não presto atenção
I don't pay attention
Nas cordas desse violão
On the strings of this guitar
Inútil
Useless
Tira a pedra do caminho
Take the stone out of the way
Tenho o passo marcado
I have the step marked
O rumo traçado sem discussão
The course set without discussion
Tenho um encontro marcado
I have an appointment
Com a solidão
With loneliness
Tenho uma pressa danada
I'm in a hurry
Não moro do lado
I don't live next door
Não me chamo João
My name isn't John
Não gosto nem digo que não
I don't like it and I don't say no
É inútil
It's useless
Tira a pedra do caminho
Take the stone out of the way
Vou correndo, vou-me embora
I'm running, I'm leaving
Faço um bota-fora
I throw it out
Pega um lenço agita e chora
Take a tissue, wave it and cry
Cumpre o teu dever
Do your duty
Bota força nessa coisa
Put some power into this thing
Que se a coisa pára
That if things stop
A gente fica cara a cara
We come face to face
Cara a cara cara a cara
Face to face face to face
Com o que não quer ver
What you don't want to see
