These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Na hora da agonia
In the hour of agony
Cadê os meus amigos, meus camaradas, meus pareceiros?
Where are my friends, my comrades, my peers?
Na hora que eu mais necessito deles não acho um
When I need them most I can't find one
O Zé tá pra São Paulo
Zé is in São Paulo
E Pedro morreu
And Peter died
Até o Biu desapareceu
Even Biu disappeared
Chico Careca, já cansei de bater na casa da esquina e nem
Chico Careca, I'm tired of knocking on the house on the corner and I don't even
Já é quase noite e o negão num açoite
It's almost night and the black guy is being flogged
Na boca do beco vai aparecer
At the mouth of the alley will appear
E eu vou ter que encarar
And I'll have to face
E não posso perder, que a crioula vai ver
And I can't lose, because the black girl will see
Tomei decisão
I made a decision
Como último tiro
As a last shot
Gritei num suspiro
I screamed in a sigh
Ganhei o bolão
I won the prize
E não tenho um irmão
And I don't have a brother
Com quem possa gastar!
Who can spend it on!
De repentemente a turma pintou
Suddenly the class painted
Com sorriso nos dentes
With a smile on your teeth
Me dizendo contente
Telling me happy
Deixa isso com a gente!
Leave it to us!
No final do barato, eu ganhei do negão
At the end of the bargain, I beat the black guy
E, sem grana na mão
And, with no money in hand
A turma me ganhou
The gang beat me
Quando sacou o grupo
When the group was removed
E hoje a crioula está de luto
And today the Creole is in mourning
No final do barato, eu ganhei do negão
At the end of the bargain, I beat the black guy
E, sem grana na mão
And, with no money in hand
A turma me ganhou
The gang beat me
Quando sacou o grupo
When the group was removed
E hoje a crioula está de luto
And today the Creole is in mourning
E hoje a crioula está de luto, ê!
And today the Creole is in mourning, yeah!
E hoje a crioula está de luto
And today the Creole is in mourning
