Com Que Roupa?

Now I'm going to change my behavior
I'm going to fight
Because I want to straighten up
I'll treat you with brute force
To be able to rehabilitate myself

Because this life is not easy
And I ask: With what clothes?
With what clothes will I go
To the samba you invited me to?
With what clothes will I go
To the samba you invited me to?

Now I don't walk so jauntily anymore
Because money
Is not easy to earn
Even though I'm a tricky guy
I can't even have enough to spend

I used to sail with the wind at my back
But now with what clothes?
With what clothes will I go
To the samba you invited me to?
With what clothes will I go
To the samba you invited me to?

Today I'm jumping like a frog
To see if I escape
From this vulture's curse
I'm already covered in rags
I'm going to end up naked

My suit has turned into scraps
And I don't even know with what clothes
With what clothes will I go
To the samba you invited me to?
With what clothes will I go
To the samba you invited me to?

Your Portuguese has now left
Has already gone
And took your capital
Forgot who you loved so much before
Went to Adamastor to Portugal

To marry a young girl
But now with what clothes?
With what clothes will I go
To the samba you invited me to?
With what clothes will I go
To the samba you invited me to?
