Текст и перевод песни Teodoro & Sampaio - Água No Leite

Água No Leite

Um leiteiro ganancioso enganava a freguesia
Misturava água no leite e para o povo vendia
Enriquecendo depressa dizia fazendo graça
Não há nada neste mundo que o homem queira e não faça
Enquanto eu puxar no balde, água do poço à vontade
Não falta leite na praça

O dinheiro do seu roubo era num saco guardado
E muito bem escondido para não ser encontrado
Mas ele tinha um macaco que observava a trapaça
Parece que ele dizia espiando da vidraça
Eu estou envergonhado, por saber que no passado
Nós fomos da mesma raça

Mas um dia o macaco escondido lhe seguiu
Pegou o saco de dinheiro e jogou dentro do rio
Voltou de novo pro mato e foi pensando consigo
Tenho vergonha do homem por se parecer comigo
O homem é bicho tratante, e vê no seu semelhante
O seu maior inimigo

Leiteiro desesperado dentro do rio se atirou
Mas do maldito dinheiro nem um centavo salvou
Sentou na beira do rio e chorando assim falou
Quis ficar rico depressa e mais pobre hoje estou
Que destino foi o meu, tudo que a água me deu
A mesma água levou

Water in the Milk

A greedy milkman was deceiving customers
He was mixing water in the milk and selling it to the people
As he became rich rapidly, he jokingly said
There is nothing in this world that a man wants and doesn't do
While I pull the bucket, water from the well at will
There is no shortage of milk in the market

The money from his robbery was kept in a bag
It was very well hidden so that it could not be found
But he had a monkey who observed the trick
It seems like he was saying while peeking through the window
I am ashamed to know that in the past
We belonged to the same race

But one day the monkey followed him while hiding
He took the bag of money and threw it into the river
He returned to the forest and thought to himself
I am ashamed of man because he resembles me
Man is a deceitful creature, and he sees in his fellow human beings
His greatest enemy

The desperate milkman jumped into the river
But he could not save even one cent from the cursed money
He sat down on the riverbank and said while crying
I wanted to get rich quickly and am poorer today
What was my fate, everything that water gave me
The same water took away
