Lyrics & Translation

[Portuguese]

[English]

Torrada queimada

Burnt toast

Mais uma piada

Another joke

Alguém viu meu sapato aí?

Has anyone seen my shoe around?

Sem olhar pro café

Without looking at the coffee

Não vai dar, vou a pé

It won't work, I'll walk

Sempre morrendo de rir

Always dying of laughter

Por isso eu já passei

That's why I've been through

Eu falo do que sei

I talk about what I know

Aguenta firme

Hang in there

Não desiste

Don't give up

O teu futuro vai brilhar

Your future will shine

Aguenta firme

Hang in there

Que esse filme no final vai compensar

This movie will be worth it in the end

A vida é mesmo assim

Life is just like that

Mas pode confiar em mim

But you can trust me

Você vai adorar se conhecer

You're going to love getting to know

Aguenta firme

Hang in there
