Lero Lero

I'm a Brazilian of medium stature
I really like Fulana but Sicrana is the one who wants me
Because in love, the one who loses almost always wins
Look at this strange thing, get out of it if you can

I don't hold grudges, I don't blaspheme, I don't ponder
I don't tolerate chit-chat, I owe nothing to anyone
I'm at ease, I lead my life my way
From work to the beat, I do as it suits me

I'm a poet and I don't deny my race
I write verses out of spite and also out of necessity
With a broken foot, blank verse, rich rhyme
I negotiate, give the hint, I have my solution

I'm Brazilian, tatu-peba taturana
Good at soccer, bad with money, I know the times tables by heart
Four times seven twenty-eight nine's out
Either the jaguar devours me or in the end, I'll laugh better

I don't enter raffles, I don't sweeten, I don't season
I don't re-mark, I mark zero, if I said it, I won't go back
Wherever I go, I leave a trail, I make a name
I mess up the whole plot, I disrespect Satan

Brazilian of medium stature
I really like Fulana but Sicrana is the one who wants me

Because in love, the one who loses almost always wins
Look at this strange thing, get out of it if you can
Says a natural saying from my land
A good goat is the one that bleats where the sabiá sings
I don't believe in the bad luck of my fate
A tico-tico bird of prey, no one takes my cornmeal
