Paroles et traduction Almir Guineto - Acabou a Miséria

Acabou a Miséria

Foi pura sorte
No Pagode de domingo
Bati de frente com um gringo
Villegaignon o francês
Que se encantou com meu partido
E pediu bis
E comovido prometeu me divulgar lá em Paris

O meu pagode estourou em toda França
Aumentando a confiança que Villegaignon depositou em mim
Mas a surpresa estava lá no meu barraco
Sobre a cama o telegrama do francês dizendo assim

Comment allez vous mon ami
C'est une l'argent monsieur
La vérité, c'est fini la miserê

Foi pura sorte
No Pagode do Arlindo (Arlindo Cruz)
Bati de frente com um gringo
Villegaignon o francês
Que se encantou com meu partido
E pediu bis
E comovido prometeu me divulgar lá em Paris

Poverty's Over

It was pure luck
At the Sunday samba school
I bumped into a foreigner
Villegaignon the Frenchman
Who was smitten by my samba
And asked for an encore
And moved, he promised to promote me in Paris

My samba became a hit all over France
Increasing the trust that Villegaignon had placed in me
But the surprise was waiting for me in my shack
On the bed was a telegram from the Frenchman saying this

How are you, my friend
This is some money for you, sir
In truth, poverty's over

It was pure luck
At Arlindo's (Arlindo Cruz) samba school
I bumped into a foreigner
Villegaignon the Frenchman
Who was smitten by my samba
And asked for an encore
And moved, he promised to promote me in Paris
