Lyrics and translation Grupo Fundo de Quintal - Zé da Ralé




Zé da Ralé
Zé da Ralé
Certo dia, o da Ralé
One day, da Ralé
Resolveu ser bacana e fez uma festa
Decided to play the wealthy man and throw a party
Voltei rapidinho em Copacabana
I'll come back quickly from Copacabana
Camisa xadrez, que em seu a um mês
A plaid shirt, that had a month to go
Calça pescando mal remendada
Patchwork pants, poorly mended
Seu estava sem E que sola furada
His shoes had no arch lift and a broken sole
Resolveu paquerar uma granfina
Decided to flirt with a socialite
Encostada no muro
Who was leaning against the wall
Nem se quer lhe passou pela cuca
It didn't even cross his mind
Que estava duro
That he was broke
De saída tu se,
On leaving they said to him,
Se enxerga, etc e tal
Know your place, etc. and such
E de quebra levou um direto
And on top of it, he took a shot
No meio frontal
To the middle of his face
Caiu, ficou estarrado no meio da lona
He fell, and was lying stretched out in the middle of the canvas
Quem nasce pra dividir na vida
Those born to struggle in life
Nunca soma
Never count
Aqui vai um velho conselho
Here goes some old advice
Para o da Ralé
For da Ralé
O confirmar
To acknowledge
Com que a vida é
That life is
