Monsieur have money per mangiare
Monsieur has money per mangiare
No sinal fechado
At closed signal
Ele vende chiclete
He sells gum
Capricha na flanela
Dress up in flannel
E se chama Pelé
And his name is Pele
Pinta na janela
Paint on the window
Batalha algum trocado
Battle for some change
Aponta um canivete
Point a pocket knife
E até
And even
Dobra a Carioca, olerê
Double the Carioca, olerê
Desce a Frei Caneca, olará
Go down to Frei Caneca, hello
Se manda pra Tijuca
If you go to Tijuca
Sobe o Borel
Climb the Borel
Meio se maloca
Half a maloca
Agita numa boca
Shake in your mouth
Descola uma mutuca
Take off a horsefly
E um papel
And a paper
Sonha aquela mina, olerê
Dream that girl, olerê
Prancha, parafina, olará
Board, paraffin, pottery
Dorme gente fina
Sleep fine people
Acorda pinel
Wake up Pinel
Zanza na sarjeta
Zanza in the gutter
Fatura uma besteira
Invoice nonsense
E tem as pernas tortas
And he has crooked legs
E se chama Mané
And his name is Mané
Arromba uma porta
Break down a door
Faz ligação direta
Make direct connection
Engata uma primeira
Engage a first
E até
And even
Dobra a Carioca, olerê
Double the Carioca, olerê
Desce a Frei Caneca, olará
Go down to Frei Caneca, hello
Se manda pra Tijuca
If you go to Tijuca
Na contramão
In the opposite direction
Dança pára-lama
fender dance
Já era pára-choque
It was already bumper
Agora ele se chama
Now it's called
Emersão
Emergence
Sobe no passeio, olerê
Get on the sidewalk, olerê
Pega no Recreio, olará
Take Recreio, hello
Não se liga em freio
Does not apply to brake
Nem direção
No direction
No sinal fechado
At closed signal
Ele transa chiclete
He fucks gum
E se chama pivete
And it's called a kid
E pinta na janela
And paint on the window
Capricha na flanela
Dress up in flannel
Descola uma bereta
Take off a beret
Batalha na sarjeta
Battle in the gutter
E tem as pernas tortas
And he has crooked legs
