Meu Caro Amigo [English translation]

My dear friend, please forgive me

If I don't visit you

But since a messenger's just appeared

I'm sending news on this tape

Here on earth they're playing football

There's lots of samba, lots of crying and rock'n'roll

Some days it rains, other days the sun shines

But what I want to tell you is that things here are bleak

We bear the situation with a lot of dirty tricks

We go on bearing it stubbornly and with tantrums

And we go on drinking even without liquor*

No-one's got this rocket steady

My dear friend, I don't mean to provoke

Or fuel your homesickness

But as it happens, I can't get away

To tell you the news

Here on earth they're playing football

There's lots of samba, lots of crying and rock'n'roll

Some days it rains, other days the sun shines

But what I want to tell you is that things here are bleak

There's a song and dance to earn the daily bread

We go on earning in a sulk, just for fun

And we go on smoking, again, without a cigarette

No-one's got this rocket steady

My dear friend, I even wanted to call

But the rates aren't funny

I'm doing my best to keep you up to date

With everything that's happening

Here on earth they're playing football

There's lots of Samba, lots of crying and rock-n-roll

Some days it rains, other days the sun shines

But what I want to tell you is that things here are bleak

There's lots of grimacing to choke down the deal

We're choking down every frog on the path

And we go on loving, again without affection

No-one's got this rocket steady

My dear friend, I'd have liked to write to you

But the mailman was timid

If they let me, I'll try to send you

Fresh news on this disc

Here on earth they're playing football

There's lots of Samba, lots of crying and rock-n-roll

Some days it rains, other days the sun shines

But what I want to tell you is that things here are bleak

Marieta sends a kiss for all your lot

A kiss for your family, for Cecilia and the kids

Francis takes the chance to send his regards

To all the guys as well

Goodbye
