These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
O mundo me condena
The world condemns me
E ninguém tem pena
And no one feels sorry
Falando sempre mal do meu nome
Always speaking bad about my name
Deixando de saber
Stopping knowing
Se eu vou morrer de sede
If I'm going to die of thirst
Ou se vou morrer de fome
Or if I'm going to starve
Mas a filosofia
But the philosophy
Hoje me auxilia
Today help me
A viver indiferente assim
Living indifferently like this
Nesta prontidão sem fim
In this endless readiness
Vou fingindo que sou rico
I'm pretending I'm rich
Para ninguém zombar de mim
So no one can make fun of me
Não me incomodo que você me diga
I don't mind you telling me
Que a sociedade
That society
É minha inimiga
She's my enemy
Pois cantando neste mundo
For singing in this world
Vivo escravo do meu samba
I live a slave to my samba
Muito embora vagabundo
Even though I'm a vagabond
Quanto a você da aristocracia
As for you from the aristocracy
Que tem dinheiro
Who has money
Mas não compra alegria
But it doesn't buy joy
Há de viver eternamente
You will live forever
Sendo escrava desta gente
Being a slave to these people
Que cultiva hipocrisia
That cultivates hypocrisy
O mundo me condena
The world condemns me
E ninguém tem pena
And no one feels sorry
Falando sempre mal do meu nome
Always speaking bad about my name
Deixando de saber
Stopping knowing
Se eu vou morrer de sede
If I'm going to die of thirst
Ou se vou morrer de fome
Or if I'm going to starve
Mas a filosofia
But the philosophy
Hoje me auxilia
Today help me
A viver indiferente assim
Living indifferently like this
Nesta prontidão sem fim
In this endless readiness
Vou fingindo que sou rico
I'm pretending I'm rich
Para ninguém zombar de mim
So no one can make fun of me
