Saco de feijão

Bean Bag
My God, why so much money
Money just to spend
How I miss the old days
The life I lead now
I already feel drained
And tired of suffering (my God)
Without a solution in sight
What good is a bag full of money
To buy a pound of beans (tell me, people)
What good is a bag full of money
To buy a pound of beans
In the time of 'merréis' and 'vinténs'
Life was good, no complaints
I'd go to Mr. Manoel's store with a penny
And bring back a pound of beans
After they invented the 'cruzeiro'
I bring a little package in my hand
And leave a bag of money
Oh, my God
After they invented the 'cruzeiro'
I bring a little package in my hand
And leave a bag of money (now with me, people)
My God, why so much money
Money just to spend
How I miss the old days
The life I lead now
I already feel drained
And tired of suffering (my God)
Without a solution in sight
What good is a bag full of money
To buy a pound of beans (what good is it)
What good is a bag full of money
To buy a pound of beans
In the time of 'merréis' and 'vinténs'
Life was good, no complaints
I'd go to Mr. Manoel's store with a penny
Bring back a pound of beans and (and now, people)
After they invented the 'cruzeiro'
I bring a little package in my hand
And leave a bag of money
(Oh, my God)
After they invented the 'cruzeiro'
I bring a little package in my hand
And leave a bag of money (oh, my God)
