Ela Falou Malandro [English translation]

She said 'Hey there, sharpie1. You'd better correct yourself

When will you have some money

To give me all that I deserve?'

Then I told her: 'Hey there, darling. I want you to understand me

I've even put my soul up for sale, but no one wants to pay its price'

She goes to work, I work a lot

This gambler life2 is an eternal tight rope

For her I go to a rock show, I go to a samba, I go to funk parties, I go to any party that there is

I face anything, because of Jesus I knew the blues

I'd do everything for her in this crazy life

Actually, almost everything, because I've got no money, no money

I'm always broke, but I work hard so I can live

I'm always broke, but I gamble hard so I can live

I'm always broke, but I work hard so I can live

I'm always broke, but I gamble hard so I can live

Dear, dear

I'm always broke, but I work hard so I can live

I'm always broke, but I gamble hard so I can live

1. An alert, quick-witted person2. I believe he wants to say that he deals with gambling, though I'm not sure about that
