These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Vinha voando no meu carro quando vi pela frente
I was flying in my car when I saw it from the front
Na beira da calçada um broto displicente
On the edge of the sidewalk a displicent bud
Joguei o pisca-pisca para a esquerda e entrei
I threw the flasher to the left and went in
A velocidade que eu vinha, não sei
The speed I was coming from, I don't know
Pisei no freio obedecendo ao coração
I stepped on the brake obeying the heart
E parei., parei na contramão
And I stopped, I stopped in the other way
O broto displicente nem sequer me olhou
The displicent bud didn't even look at me
Insisti na buzina, mas não funcionou
I insisted on the horn, but it didn't work
Segue o broto seu caminho sem me ligar
Follow the bud your way without calling me
Pensei por um momento que ela fosse parar
I thought for a moment that she was going to stop
Arranquei à toda e sem querer avancei o sinal
I pulled out the whole and unintentionally advanced the signal
O guarda apitou
The guard whistled
O guarda muito vivo de longe me acenava
The very living guard from afar waved at me
E pela cara dele eu vi que não gostava
And from the look on his face I saw i didn't like
Falei que foi cupido que me atrapalhou
I told you it was cupid that got in my way
Mas minha carteira pro xadrez levou
But my chess wallet took
Acho que este guarda nunca se apaixonou
I don't think this guard has ever fallen in love
Pois minha carteira o malvado levou
For my wallet the evil took
Quando me livrei do guarda, o broto não vi
When I got rid of the guard, the bud didn't see
Mas sei que algum dia ela vai voltar
But I know someday she'll come back
E a buzina desta vez eu sei que vai funcionar
And the horn this time I know it's going to work
Did you know?
