Castelo de Um Quarto Só
Renato da Rocinha
Castle of Only One Room
My castle has only one room
And asbestos to cover my head
My wardrobe is made of only one drawer
And there lives the green bird of hope
Who tries incessantly achieves
In the swing of wanderings I learned to survive
Who tries incessantly achieves
In the swing of wanderings I learned to survive
Life full of pain, beyond suffering
To fill the belly one must sweat
Drinking from a mug, off to the bar
Pagode and beer to numb
Help me powerful God, look at this poor apprentice
I have no money, no fancy car
My samba is enough for me and makes me happy
Help me powerful God, look at this poor apprentice
I have no money, no fancy car
My samba is enough for me and makes me happy
My castle has only one room
And asbestos to cover my head
My wardrobe is made of only one drawer
And there lives the green bird of hope
Who tries incessantly achieves
In the swing of wanderings I learned to survive
Who tries incessantly achieves
In the swing of wanderings I learned to survive
Life full of pain, beyond suffering
To fill the belly one must sweat
Drinking from a mug, off to the bar
Pagode and beer to numb
Help me powerful God, look at this poor apprentice
I have no money, no fancy car
My samba is enough for me and makes me happy
Help me powerful God, look at this poor apprentice
I have no money, no fancy car, but I am happy
In the swing of wanderings I learned to survive
My castle has only one room
