Текст и перевод песни Bezerra Da Silva - Asa à Cobra

Asa à Cobra

Aí malandragem
Se Deus desse asa a cobra
Os criolo ia fazer sucesso

Se Deus desse asa a cobra
O mundo não estava perdido
Carroça andava na frente
E o burro atrás escondido

(Se Deus desse asa a cobra)
(O mundo não estava perdido)
(Carroça andava na frente)
(E o burro atrás escondido)

Carroceiro puxava carroça
E na frente do burro ele vinha
A cozinheira ia pra sala
E a madame pra cozinha

Servente seria chefe
Soldado seria tenente
Chefe ia trabalhar
Lá na vaga do servente
Se Deus desse asa a cobra
Meu Deus como ia morrer genta

(Se Deus desse asa a cobra)
O que que tem?
(O mundo não estava perdido)
Nossa senhora
(Carroça andava na frente)
(E o burro atrás escondido)

(Se Deus desse asa a cobra)
(O mundo não estava perdido)
(Carroça andava na frente)
(E o burro atrás escondido)

Aí eu queria ver
O que iam fazer os ladrões de gravata
Quando vissem a coisa preta
Porque quem não sabe rezar
Não faz trato com o capeta
Eles estão me entendendo
Pra quem sabe ler um pingo é letra

(Se Deus desse asa a cobra)
O que que tem?
(O mundo não estava perdido)
(Carroça andava na frente)
(E o burro atrás escondido)

(Se Deus desse asa a cobra) aí Jesus Cristo
(O mundo não estava perdido) joga asa em cima dos criolo camarada
(Carroça andava na frente)
(E o burro atrás escondido)

Carroceiro puxava carroça
E na frente do burro ele vinha
A cozinheira ia pra sala
E a madame pra cozinha

Servente seria chefe
Soldado seria tenente
Chefe ia trabalhar
Lá na vaga do servente
Se Deus desse asa a cobra
Meu Deus como ia morrer genta

(Se Deus desse asa a cobra)
(O mundo não estava perdido)
Aí
(Carroça andava na frente) se o Bezerra tivesse asa malandrão
(E o burro atrás escondido)

(Se Deus desse asa a cobra)
(O mundo não estava perdido)
(Carroça andava na frente)
(E o burro atrás escondido)

Aí eu queria ver
O que iam fazer os ladrões de gravata
Quando vissem a coisa preta
Porque quem não sabe rezar
Não faz trato com o capeta
Eles estão me entendendo
Pra quem sabe ler um pingo é letra

(Se Deus desse asa a cobra)
(O mundo não estava perdido) certo
(Carroça andava na frente)
(E o burro atrás escondido)

Olha aí, se Deus desse asa a cobra
Eu só sei que o mundo não estava perdido
A carroça andava na frente
E o sujeito burro atrás escondido

(Se Deus desse asa a cobra) ela voava
(O mundo não estava perdido)
(Carroça andava na frente)
(E o burro atrás escondido)

Veja bem, se Deus desse asa a cobra
O mundo não estava perdido
A carroça andava na frente
E o sujeito treche ia atrás escondido

(Se Deus desse asa a cobra) pra que?
(O mundo não estava perdido) tudo bem
(Carroça andava na frente)

Wings to the Serpent

Hey, you streetwise folks,
If God gave wings to the serpent,
The black folks would really make it big.

If God gave wings to the serpent,
The world wouldn't be so messed up.
The cart would be out in front,
And the donkey hidden behind.

(If God gave wings to the serpent)
(The world wouldn't be so messed up)
(The cart would be out in front)
(And the donkey hidden behind)

The cart driver would pull the cart,
And walk in front of the donkey.
The cook would go to the living room,
And the madam to the kitchen.

The servant would be the boss,
The soldier would be the lieutenant,
The boss would work
In the servant's place.
If God gave wings to the serpent,
My God, how many people would die!

(If God gave wings to the serpent)
What's up with that?
(The world wouldn't be so messed up)
Holy Mary!
(The cart would be out in front)
(And the donkey hidden behind)

(If God gave wings to the serpent)
(The world wouldn't be so messed up)
(The cart would be out in front)
(And the donkey hidden behind)

Oh, I'd like to see
What those tie-wearing thieves would do
When they saw the black thing,
Because those who don't know how to pray
Can't make deals with the devil.
They understand what I'm saying,
For those who can read, a dot is a letter.

(If God gave wings to the serpent)
What's up with that?
(The world wouldn't be so messed up)
(The cart would be out in front)
(And the donkey hidden behind)

(If God gave wings to the serpent) oh Jesus Christ,
(The world wouldn't be so messed up) give wings to the black folks, buddy.
(The cart would be out in front)
(And the donkey hidden behind)

The cart driver would pull the cart,
And walk in front of the donkey.
The cook would go to the living room,
And the madam to the kitchen.

The servant would be the boss,
The soldier would be the lieutenant,
The boss would work
In the servant's place.
If God gave wings to the serpent,
My God, how many people would die!

(If God gave wings to the serpent)
(The world wouldn't be so messed up)
Hey,
(The cart would be out in front) if Bezerra had wings, my friend,
(And the donkey hidden behind)

(If God gave wings to the serpent)
(The world wouldn't be so messed up)
(The cart would be out in front)
(And the donkey hidden behind)

Oh, I'd like to see
What those tie-wearing thieves would do
When they saw the black thing,
Because those who don't know how to pray
Can't make deals with the devil.
They understand what I'm saying,
For those who can read, a dot is a letter.

(If God gave wings to the serpent)
(The world wouldn't be so messed up) that's right.
(The cart would be out in front)
(And the donkey hidden behind)

Look here, if God gave wings to the serpent,
All I know is the world wouldn't be so messed up.
The cart would be out in front,
And the stupid guy hidden behind.

(If God gave wings to the serpent) it would fly.
(The world wouldn't be so messed up)
(The cart would be out in front)
(And the donkey hidden behind)

See here, if God gave wings to the serpent,
The world wouldn't be so messed up.
The cart would be out in front,
And the foolish guy would be hidden behind.

(If God gave wings to the serpent) what for?
(The world wouldn't be so messed up) alright.
(The cart would be out in front)
