Chico Buarque João E Maria translation
Agora eu era o herói
Now I was the hero
E o meu cavalo só falava inglês
and my horse just spoke in english
A noiva do cowboy
the fiancee of the cowboy
Era você
was you
Além das outras três
Besides the other three
Eu enfrentava os batalhões
I was facing the battalions
Os alemães e seus canhões
the Germans and their cannons
Guardava o meu bodoque
I kept my bodoque
E ensaiava o rock
and rehearsed a rock
Para as matinês
for the matinee
Agora eu era o rei
Now I was the king
Era o bedel e era também juiz
I was the beadle and the jude too
E pela minha lei
And by my law
A gente era obrigada a ser feliz
we were obligated to be happy
E você era a princesa
and you were the princess
Que eu fiz coroar
that I did crown
E era tão linda de se admirar
and you were so beautiful to be looked
Que andava nua pelo meu país
that walked naked for my country
Não, não fuja não
Not, don't run away no
Finja que agora eu era o seu brinquedo
pretend that now I was your toy
Eu era o seu pião
I was spinner toy
O seu bicho preferido
your favorite animal
Sim, me dê a mão
Yes, give me your hand
A gente agora já não tinha medo
now we don't have anymore fear
No tempo da maldade
in the age of the evil
Acho que a gente nem tinha nascido
I don't think we were even born
Agora era fatal
Now It was fatal
Que o faz-de-conta terminasse assim
that the legend ended like this
Pra lá desse quintal
far of this garden
Era uma noite que não tem mais fim
it was a night that doesn't have anymore an end
Pois você sumiu no mundo
because you got miss in the world
Sem me avisar
without advertise me
E agora eu era um louco a perguntar
and now I was a freak to ask
O que é que a vida vai fazer de mim
what is that the life will meke of me
