Domingo no Parque [English translation]

The king of mischief

Eh, José!

The king of trouble

Eh, João!

The first worked at the street market

Eh José!

The other, worked at the construction site

Eh, João!

The last week,

In the weekend

João decided not to fight

On Sunday afternoon

He went out in a hush

And he didn't go to Ribeira to fight

Capoeira!

No, he didn't go

To Ribeira, he went on a date [instead]

José, as usual,

In the weekend

Put away his market stand and went away

He went out on Sunday

For a walk in the park

Next to the Boca do Rio

It was in the park

That he saw

Juliana

And then he saw

And then he saw Juliana at the ferris wheel with João

A rose and an ice cream in her hand

Juliana, his dream, an ilusion

Juliana and his friend João

The rose's thorn hurt Zé

(It hurt Zé, it hurt Zé)

And the ice cream froze his heart

The ice cream and the rose

Oh, José!

The rose and the ice cream

Oh, José!

It danced in his heart

Oh, José!

Mischievous José's [heart]

Oh José!

The ice cream and the rose

Oh, José

The rose and the ice cream

Oh, José!

Oi, spinning in his mind

Oh, José!

Mischievous José's [mind]

Oh, José!

Juliana spinning

Oi, spinning!

Oi, at the ferris wheel

Oi, spinning!

Oi, at the ferris wheel

Oi, spinning!

His friend João (João)

The ice cream is strawberry flavored

It is red!

Oi, spinning and the rose

It is red!

Oi, spinning, spinning

It is red!

Oi, spinning, spinning

It's a knife! (It's a knife!)

Look at the blood on the hand

Eh, José!

Juliana on the ground

Eh, José!

Another body falling

Eh, José!

It his his friend João

Eh, José!

Tomorrow there will be no street market

Eh, José!

There will be no construction

Eh, João!

There will be no more mischief

Eh, José!

There will be no more trouble

Eh, João!
