Lyrics and translation Erasmo Carlos & Os Cariocas - Cachaca Mecanica




Cachaca Mecanica
Mechanical Cachaça
Vendeu seu terno
He sold his suit
Seu relógio e sua alma
His watch and his soul
E até o santo
And even the saint
Ele vendeu com muita
He he sold it with great faith
Comprou fiado
Bought on credit
Prá fazer sua mortalha
To make his shroud
Tomou um gole de cachaça
Took a sip of cachaça
E deu no pé...
And ran off on foot...
Mariazinha
Mariazinha
Ainda viu João no mato
Still saw João in the woods
Matando um gato
Killing a cat
Prá vestir seu tamborim
To wear on his tambourine
E aquela tarde
And that afternoon
bem tarde, comentava
Very late, was commenting
vai um homem
There goes a man
Se acabar até o fim...
If he goes on until the end...
João bebeu
João drank
Toda cachaça da cidade
All the cachaça in town
Bateu com força
Beat hard
Em todo bumbo que ele via
On every bass drum he saw
Gastou seu bolso
Emptied his pocket
Mas sambou desesperado
But danced desperately
Comeu confete
He ate confetti
Serpentina
Serpentine
E a fantasia...
And the costume...
Levou um tombo
He took a tumble
Bem no meio da avenida
Right in the middle of the avenue
Desconfiado
Distrustful
Que outro gole não bebia
That he wouldn't drink another sip
Dormiu no tombo
Fell asleep in the fall
E foi pisado pela escola
And was run over by the school
Morreu de samba
Died of samba
De cachaça e de folia...
From cachaça and revelry...
Tanto ele investiu
So much he invested
Na brincadeira
In the fun
Prá tudo, tudo
For everything, everything
Se acabar na terça-feira...
To finish on Tuesday...
Vendeu seu terno
He sold his suit
E até o santo
And even the saint
Comprou fiado
Bought on credit
Tomou um gole
Took a sip
João no mato
João in the woods
Matando um gato
Killing a cat
Naquela tarde
That afternoon
vai o homem...
There goes the man...
João bebeu
João drank
Toda cachaça da cidade
All the cachaça in town
Bateu com força
Beat hard
Em todo bumbo que ele via
On every bass drum he saw
Gastou seu bolso
Emptied his pocket
Mas sambou desesperado
But danced desperately
Comeu confete
He ate confetti
Serpentina
Serpentine
E a fantasia...
And the costume...
Levou um tombo
He took a tumble
Bem no meio da avenida
Right in the middle of the avenue
Desconfiado
Distrustful
Que outro gole não bebia
That he wouldn't drink another sip
Dormiu no tombo
Fell asleep in the fall
E foi pisado pela escola
And was run over by the school
Morreu de samba
Died of samba
De cachaça e de folia...
From cachaça and revelry...
Tanto ele investiu
So much he invested
Na brincadeira
In the fun
Prá tudo, tudo
For everything, everything
Se acabar na terça-feira...
To finish on Tuesday...
Prá tudo, tudo
For everything, everything
Se acabar na terça-feira... Composição: Erasmo Carlos & Roberto Carlos
To finish on Tuesday... Words and music: Erasmo Carlos & Roberto Carlos
