Abrigo de Vagabundos
Adoniran Barbosa
Vagabonds' Shelter
I got my money
Working all year round
In a ceramic
Making pot
And there at the top of Mooca
I bought a beautiful lot
Ten in front and ten in back
I built my hut
They told me that without a plant
Cannot be built
But those who work can achieve anything
João Saracura who is a city inspector
He was a great friend, he arranged everything for me
Where are Joca and Matogrosso?
Those two friends
Who didn't want to accompany me
They will be thrown on São João Avenue
Or seeing the square sun in detention
My hut, the most beautiful I've ever seen
Today it is legal, no one can demolish it
My hut is the most beautiful in the world
I offer to the vagabonds
Who have nowhere to sleep
