Nos cartazes espalhados
On the posters spread
Pelos muros da cidade
Through the city walls
Três ases num jogo duro
Three aces in a tough game
Uma moça e dois rapazes
A girl and two boys
Um dos rapazes maduro
One of the mature boys
Calejado pela idade
Hardened by age
Joga o jogo mais seguro
Play the safest game
Paciência e lealdade
Patience and loyalty
O outro ainda menino
The other is still a boy
Impetuoso e viril
Impetuous and virile
Mesmo quando joga a mil
Even when playing hard
É jogo elegante, fino
It's elegant, fine game
A moça que corre livre
The girl who runs free
Na defesa e no ataque
In defense and attack
Faz a jogada de craque
Make the ace move
Calma e precisa no drible
Calm and precise dribbling
Três mosqueteiros se olhavam
Three musketeers looked at each other
Como se fossem guerreiros
As if they were warriors
Três patetas se pensarmos na graça, na luz do riso
Three stooges if we think about grace, in the light of laughter
Três poetas da canção
Three song poets
E o nome do jogo é cantar
And the name of the game is singing
Castram eles para dar a vida se for preciso
Castrate them to give their lives if necessary
Trinca de Ases na mesa
Set of Aces on the table
Faça agora a sua aposta
Place your bet now
Ganhar nunca foi certeza
Winning was never certain
Cantar é o que a gente gosta
Singing is what we like
Nos cartazes espalhados
On the posters spread
Pelos muros da cidade
Through the city walls
Três ases num jogo duro
Three aces in a tough game
Uma moça e dois rapazes
A girl and two boys
Um dos rapazes maduro
One of the mature boys
Calejado pela idade
Hardened by age
Joga o jogo mais seguro
Play the safest game
Paciência e lealdade
Patience and loyalty
O outro ainda menino
The other is still a boy
Impetuoso e viril
Impetuous and virile
Mesmo quando joga a mil
Even when playing hard
É jogo elegante, fino
It's elegant, fine game
A moça que corre livre
The girl who runs free
Na defesa e no ataque
In defense and attack
Faz a jogada de craque
Make the ace move
Calma e precisa no drible
Calm and precise dribbling
Três mosqueteiros se olhavam
Three musketeers looked at each other
Como se fossem guerreiros
As if they were warriors
Três patetas se pensarmos na graça, na luz do riso
Three stooges if we think about grace, in the light of laughter

Ganhar nunca foi certeza
Winning was never certain
Cantar é o que a gente gosta
Singing is what we like
I can't get no
I can't get no
Satisfaction

I can't get no
I can't get no
Satisfaction
Satisfaction
