Tirava
o
terno,
botava
a

He
would
take
off
his
suit
and
put
on
a
baiana
E
começava
a
rebolar
And
start
to
shake

Essa
é
a
história
de
um
ladrão
This
is
the
story
of
a
thief
Que
veio
do
frio
passear
aqui
no
Rio
Who
traveled
all
the
way
from
the
cold
to
Rio
Rio,
Rio
de
Janeiro
Rio,
Rio
de
Janeiro
(Quero
ver
o
coral
maravilhoso
agora)
(I
want
to
hear
that
beautiful
choir
now)
Rio,
Rio
de
Janeiro
(maravilhosas)
Rio,
Rio
de
Janeiro
(beautiful)
Depois
de
ser
bem
tratado
e
paparicado
After
being
well
treated
and
pampered
E
até
remunerado
And
even
paid
Ora
vejam
só
esnobou
Copacabana
Just
imagine
this,
he
snubbed
Copacabana
Achando
que
aqui
fosse
a
casa
da
mãe
dele
Thinking
this
was
his
own
backyard
A
casa
da
mãe
Joana
His
mother's
house
Ora
vejam
só
esnobou
Copacabana
Just
imagine
this,
he
snubbed
Copacabana
Achando
que
aqui
fosse
a
casa
da
mãe
dele
Thinking
this
was
his
own
backyard
A
casa
da
mãe
Joana
His
mother's
house
Ele
viu,
ouviu,
ouviu,
comeu
e
dormiu
He
saw,
he
heard,
he
heard,
he
ate,
and
he
slept
Fez
média,
segurou
e
sumiu
He
played
up,
he
got
ahold,
and
he's
gone
Que
ladarão
é
esse,
que
ladarão
é
esse?
What
kind
of
thief
is
this,
what
kind
of
thief
is
this?
Tempos
depois
em
uma
assanhada
festa
Some
time
after
in
a
frenzied
party
O
ladarão
foi
convidado
a
voltar
a
selva
The
thief
was
invited
to
return
to
the
jungle
Mas
só
aceitou
com
a
condição
But
he
only
accepted
on
the
condition
De
que
ninguém
falasse
That
no
one
would
talk
De
que
ninguém
lembrasse
That
no
one
would
remember
Que
ele
tinha
aqui
colocado
a
mão
That
he
had
ever
set
foot
here
Oi
ladarão,
oi
ladarão
Oh,
thief,
oh,
thief
Mas
um
detetive
travestido
de
piranha
But
a
detective
disguised
as
a
piranha
Muito
atento
aos
passos
do
ladarão
Was
keeping
a
close
eye
on
the
thief's
every
move
Ficou
de
olho
pra
lá
e
pra
cá
He
watched
him
here
and
there
E
disse
que
calada
na
noite
And
in
the
silence
of
the
night
O
ladarão
gostava
de
se
enfeitar
The
thief
loved
to
dress
up
O
ladarão
gostava
de
se
enfeitar
The
thief
loved
to
dress
up
Tirava
o
terno,
botava
a
baiana
He
would
take
off
his
suit
and
put
on
a
baiana
E
começava
a
rebolar
And
start
to
shake
Tirava
o
terno,
botava
a
baiana
He
would
take
off
his

And

to
shake
Tirava
o
terno...
He
would
take
off
his
suit...
(Ele
gostava
de
um
docinho)
(He
loved
sweets)
(Mas
também
gostava
de
um
salgadinho...)
(But
he
also
liked
salty
snacks...)
