Filosofia Lyrics in English Chico Buarque
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Filosofia by Chico Buarque from Portuguese to English.
O mundo me condena
The world condemns me
E ninguém tem pena
And no one pities me
Falando sempre mal do meu nome
Always speaking ill of my name
Deixando de saber
Without knowing
Se eu vou morrer de sede
If I will die of thirst
Ou se vou morrer de fome
Or if I will die of hunger
Mas a filosofia
But philosophy
Hoje me auxilia
Today helps me
A viver indiferente assim
To live indifferently like this
Nesta prontidão sem fim
In this endless readiness
Vou fingindo que sou rico
I pretend I'm rich
Para ninguém zombar de mim
So no one will mock me
Não me incomodo que você me diga
I don't mind you telling me
Que a sociedade
That society
É minha inimiga
Is my enemy
Pois cantando neste mundo
Because singing in this world
Vivo escravo do meu samba
I live a slave to my samba
Muito embora vagabundo
Even though a vagabond
Quanto a você da aristocracia
As for you of the aristocracy
Que tem dinheiro
Who have money
Mas não compra alegria
But can't buy happiness
Há de viver eternamente
You will live eternally
Sendo escrava desta gente
Being a slave to these people
Que cultiva hipocrisia
Who cultivate hypocrisy
O mundo me condena
The world condemns me
E ninguém tem pena
And no one pities me
Falando sempre mal do meu nome
Always speaking ill of my name
Deixando de saber
Without knowing
Se eu vou morrer de sede
If I will die of thirst
Ou se vou morrer de fome
Or if I will die of hunger
Mas a filosofia
But philosophy
Hoje me auxilia
Today helps me
A viver indiferente assim
To live indifferently like this
Nesta prontidão sem fim
In this endless readiness
Vou fingindo que sou rico
I pretend I'm rich
Para ninguém zombar de mim
So no one will mock me
