Caviar [English translation]

Do you know what caviar is?

I've never seen nor eaten it, I just hear about it

But do you know what caviar is?

I've never seen nor eaten it, I just hear about it

Caviar is food of the rich

I'm curious, I just know that it's eaten

In abundance on the tables of very few people

But if you look to the side, you see hunger

I prefer fried egg, farofa and fried pig skin

In my house, that’s more what we eat

So if someone comes to ask me

What is caviar, I only know the name

Usually one who eats this dish

Is a powerful person, not just anyone

Who am I to make fun of it

If I live in a ditch fishing for mucum

Still, I don’t complain about life

Although painful, I manage to keep going

One day I’ll hit the lottery

And even this delicacy I can taste
