These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Quando, seu moço, nasceu meu rebento
When, young man, was my offspring born
Não era o momento dele rebentar
It wasn't his time to burst
Já foi nascendo com cara de fome
I was born with a hungry face
E eu não tinha nem nome pra lhe dar
And I didn't even have a name to give him
Como fui levando, não sei lhe explicar
How I got there, I don't know how to explain it to you
Fui assim levando ele a me levar
I was like that, leading him to take me
E na sua meninice ele um dia me disse
And when he was a little boy he one day told me
Que chegava lá
That got there
Olha aí
Look there
Olha aí
Look there
Olha aí, ai o meu guri, olha aí
Look there, my kid, look there
Olha aí, é o meu guri
Look there, it's my kid
E ele chega
And he arrives
Chega suado e veloz do batente
Arrives sweaty and fast from the stop
E traz sempre um presente pra me encabular
And always bring a gift to embarrass me
Tanta corrente de ouro, seu moço
So much gold chain, you boy
Que haja pescoço pra enfiar
Let there be a neck to stick
Me trouxe uma bolsa já com tudo dentro
I brought me a bag with everything inside
Chave, caderneta, terço e patuá
Key, notebook, rosary and patuá
Um lenço e uma penca de documentos
A handkerchief and a bunch of documents
Pra finalmente eu me identificar, olha aí
To finally identify myself, look here
Olha aí, ai o meu guri, olha aí
Look there, my kid, look there
Olha aí, é o meu guri
Look there, it's my kid
E ele chega
And he arrives
Chega no morro com o carregamento
Arrives on the hill with the load
Pulseira, cimento, relógio, pneu, gravador
Bracelet, cement, watch, tire, recorder
Rezo até ele chegar cá no alto
I pray until he reaches the top
Essa onda de assaltos tá um horror
This wave of robberies is horrible
Eu consolo ele, ele me consola
I console him, he consoles me
Boto ele no colo pra ele me ninar
I put him on my lap so he can rock me
De repente acordo, olho pro lado
Suddenly I wake up, I look to the side
E o danado já foi trabalhar, olha aí
And the damn thing has already gone to work, look
Olha aí, ai o meu guri, olha aí
Look there, my kid, look there
Olha aí, é o meu guri
Look there, it's my kid
E ele chega
And he arrives
Chega estampado, manchete, retrato
Arrives printed, headline, portrait
Com venda nos olhos, legenda e as iniciais
With blindfold, caption and initials
Eu não entendo essa gente, seu moço
I don't understand these people, boy
Fazendo alvoroço demais
Making too much fuss
O guri no mato, acho que tá rindo
The kid in the woods, I think he's laughing
Acho que tá lindo de papo pro are
I think it's beautiful to talk to the air
Desde o começo, eu não disse, seu moço
From the beginning, I didn't say, you boy
Ele disse que chegava lá
He said he would get there
Olha aí, olha aí
Look there, look there
Olha aí, ai o meu guri, olha aí
Look there, my kid, look there
Olha aí, é o meu guri
Look there, it's my kid
