Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Homens by Manu Chao from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Gosto de todos
I like them all
Dos morenos, dos mulatos
Of the brunettes, of the mulattoes
Dos branquinhos, dos loirinhos e dos crioulos
Of the white ones, the blondies and the creoles
S tem que ser homem
S has to be a man
Tem homem corno, homem baixo, homem gordo
There's a cuckold man, a short man, a fat man
Homem ingrato, safado, careca, cabeludo
Ungrateful, naughty, bald, hairy man
Viado ousado, temido
Bold fagot, feared
Tem muito homem
There are many men
Todo homem que se preza tem que impor respeito
Every self-respecting man must command respect
Saber ouvir, falar, escutar, ter dinheiro, celular
Know how to listen, speak, listen, have money, cell phone
Ser bom de cama, e te respeitar
Be good in bed, and respect you
Se o homem no tiver nenhuma dessas virtudes
If a man has none of these virtues
Saia de perto e tome uma atitude
Get out and take action
Porque o verdadeiro homem
because the real man
Ele te ama, te ama
He loves you, loves you
Te trata, te trata
He treats you, treats you
E vai te dar por toda vida grandes felicidades
And it will give you great happiness for life
Serão felizes
will be happy
Este o homem de verdade
This is the real man
Gosto de todos, dos morenos, dos mulatos
I like them all, the dark ones, the mulattoes
Dos branquinhos, dos loirinhos e dos crioulos
Of the white ones, the blondies and the creoles
S tem que ser homem
S has to be a man
