Chega De Sujeira Lyrics in English Eduardo Costa
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Chega De Sujeira by Eduardo Costa from Portuguese to English.
Na beira de um grande abismo eu vejo o mundo pendendo
On the edge of a great abyss I see the world tilting
Sei que vai quebrar o nariz quem errado está vivendo
I know whoever is living wrongly will break their nose
Na unha de quem não presta tem gente boa sofrendo
In the clutches of those who are no good, good people are suffering
Tem homem de duas caras sem palavra se vendendo
There are two-faced men selling themselves without honor
Chega de tanta sujeira, eu vou começar varrendo
Enough of so much filth, I'm going to start sweeping
Nos quatro cantos do mundo o respeito 'tá morrendo
In the four corners of the world, respect is dying
Sei que tem homem casado do juramento esquecendo
I know there are married men forgetting their vows
Atrás de mocinha nova e ouro vai escorrendo
Chasing young girls and money is flowing away
Esposa de quem não presta osso duro está roendo
The wife of a worthless man is gnawing on a hard bone
Chega de tanta sujeira, eu vou começar varrendo
Enough of so much filth, I'm going to start sweeping
Pra não casar na justiça tem malandro se escondendo
To avoid marrying legally, scoundrels are hiding
Casamento e muito pouco, filharada 'tá nascendo
Marriage is very little, lots of kids are being born
Pra criar filho sem pai tem avô que está gemendo
To raise a child without a father, there's a grandfather groaning
Também a custa do sogro tem genro que está vivendo
Also at the father-in-law's expense, there's a son-in-law living
Chega de tanta sujeira, eu vou começar varrendo
Enough of so much filth, I'm going to start sweeping
Igualzinho cão e gato pai e filho se mordendo
Just like cat and dog, father and son are fighting
Quando o pai vai dar conselho só coice vai recebendo
When the father goes to give advice, he only receives kicks
Do jeito que o diabo gosta tudo vai acontecendo
Everything is happening the way the devil likes it
Os velhos fora de casa tem muitos filhos querendo
Many children want the elderly out of the house
Chega de tanta sujeira, eu vou começar varrendo
Enough of so much filth, I'm going to start sweeping
A moral está tão baixa lá do alto deus 'tá vendo
Morality is so low, God is seeing from above
Que a falta de respeito dia a dia vai 'tá crescendo
That the lack of respect will be growing day by day
Palavrão que arrepia vejo criança dizendo
I see children saying cringe-worthy swear words
Vou por o mundo no eixo nem que morra combatendo
I'm going to put the world back on track, even if I die fighting
Chega de tanta sujeira, eu vou começar varrendo
Enough of so much filth, I'm going to start sweeping
