Ouro De Tolo [English translation]

I should be happy

Because I have a job

I am known as a respectable citizen

And I earn four thousand cruzeiros*

Per month

I should thank Lord

Because I succeed

In life as an artist

I should be happy

Because I can afford

A 1973 Corcel

I should be happy

And satisfied

Because I live in Ipanema

After starving

For two years

Here in Marvelous City

Oh!

I should be smiling

And proud

Because I finally have succeed in life

But I think it is a huge joke

And a little bit dangerous

I should be very happy

Because I reached

All the things I wanted to

But I confess embarrassedly

I am disappointed

Because it was too easy to reach them

And the question now is "What now?"

I have to conquer

A lot of huge things

I just can't stay here so quiet

I should be happy because Lord

Has given me the Sunday

To take my family

To the zoo

To give popcorn to the apes

But what a boring man I am

Who doesn't have fun in anything

Apes, beach, car

Newspaper, toboggan

All these things suck!

It feels like when you look at the mirror

You feel

The most stupid man

By the knowledge you're human

So ridiculous, limited

And you only uses ten percent

Of your animal mind

And you still believe

You are a doctor

A priest or a policeman

And you think you're playing

With your role

For our beautiful

Social framework

I refuse to sit

On a throne of an appartment

With the wide open

Full of teeth mouth

Waiting for the arrival of the death

Because far from the

Flagged fences

Which sepparate yards

On the calm peak

Of my eye that see

That soft sound shade

Of a flying saucer

Oh!

I refuse to sit

On a throne of an appartment

With the wide open

Full of teeth mouth

Waiting for the arrival of the death

Because far from the

Flagged fences

Which sepparate yards

On the calm peak

Of my eye that see

That soft sound shade

Of a flying saucer
