These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Nascido no subúrbio nos melhores dias
Born in the suburbs on the best days
Com votos da família de vida feliz
With happy life family wishes
Andar e pilotar um pássaro de aço
Walking and piloting a steel bird
Sonhava ao fim do dia ao me descer cansaço
I dreamed at the end of the day when I came down tired
Com as fardas mais bonitas desse meu país
With the most beautiful uniforms of my country
O pai de anel no dedo e dedo na viola
The father of ring on finger and finger on viola
Sorria e parecia mesmo ser feliz
Smiled and seemed to be happy
Vida boa
Good life
Quanto tempo faz
How long has it been
Que felicidade!
What happiness!
E que vontade de tocar viola de verdade
And what a will to play it really violates
E de fazer canções como as que fez meu pai
And to make songs like the ones my father did
Num dia de tristeza me faltou o velho
On a day of sadness I lacked the old
E falta lhe confesso que ainda hoje faz
And i confess that still today makes
E me abracei na bola e pensei ser um dia
And I held on to the ball and Thought it was one day
Um craque da pelota ao me tornar rapaz
A platoon star when I become a boy
Um dia chutei mal e machuquei o dedo
One day I kicked badly and hurt my finger
E sem ter mais o velho pra tirar o medo
And without having the old man to take away the fear
Foi mais uma vontade que ficou pra trás
It was more of a will left behind
Vida à toa
Life for good
Vai no tempo vai
Goes in time will
E eu sem ter maldade
And I have no evil
Na inocência de criança de tão pouca idade
In the innocence of a child of such a young age
Troquei de mal com deus por me levar meu pai
I traded evil with God for taking me my father
E assim crescendo eu fui me criando sozinho
And so growing up I grew up alone
Aprendendo na rua, na escola e no lar
Learning on the street, at school and at home
Um dia eu me tornei o bambambã da esquina
One day I became the bambambã of the corner
Em toda brincadeira, em briga, em namorar
In every joke, in a fight, in dating
Até que um dia eu tive que largar o estudo
Until one day I had to drop out of the study
E trabalhar na rua sustentando tudo
And work on the street sustaining everything
Assim sem perceber eu era adulto já
So without realizing I was an adult already
Vida voa
Life flies
Vai no tempo, vai
Go in time, go
Ai, mas que saudade
Ai, but i miss
Mas eu sei que lá no céu o velho tem vaidade
But I know that back in heaven the old man has vanity
E orgulho de seu filho ser igual seu pai
And proud of your son being like his father
Pois me beijaram a boca e me tornei poeta
For they kissed my mouth and became a poet
Mas tão habituado com o adverso
But so used to the adverse
Eu temo se um dia me machuca o verso
I'm afraid one day it hurts my verse
E o meu medo maior é o espelho se quebrar
And my biggest fear is the mirror breaking
