Andava eu na quarta classe e fiz uma redacção
I was in fourth grade and I did an essay
Sobre o que eu queria ser um dia quando crescesse
About what I wanted to be one day when I grew up
Quero ser um marinheiro, sulcar o azul do mar
I want to be a sailor, to stoothe the blue of the sea
Vaguear de porto em porto até um dia me cansar
Wander from port to port until one day I get tired
Quero ser um saltimbanco, saber truques e cantigas
I want to be a saltimbanco, know tricks and songs
Ser um dos que sobe ao palco e encanta as raparigas
Being one of those who takes the stage and enchants the girls
A sessôra chamou-me ao palco e deixou-me descomposto
The sessôra called me to the stage and left me discomposed
Ó menino atolombado, que gracinha de mau gosto
O boy atolombado, what a cutie in bad taste
Lá fiz outra redacção, quero ser um funcionário
There I did another wording, I want to be an employee
Ser zeloso ter patrão, deitar cedo e ter horário
Be zealous to have boss, to lie down early and to have a schedule
Ser um barquinho apagado sem prazer em navegar
Being a blacked out boat with no pleasure in sailing
Humilde e bem comportado sem fazer ondas no mar
Humble and well behaved without making waves in the sea
A sessôra bateu palmas e deu-me muitos louvores
The sessôra clapped her hands and gave me many praises
Apontou-me como exemplo e passou-me com quinze valores
He pointed me as an example and passed me with fifteen values
