Logo Eu [English translation]

That dark-haired girl wants to change me

I come home, she condemns me

She makes me a fillet, she makes me dinner

Until exhaustion

Soon I, a good individual

Fulfilling, loyal, and hard-working

Of the duties of my home

That gentle girl conquers me

She goes stealing drop by drop

My blood of Samba player

That girl wants to change me

I come home, eye of cinchona1

She says that she just saw me at the corner

Looking for a date

Soon I, a good employee

Fulfilling of my schedules

A love almost exemplary

To my beloved

She says that I left the festivities

To drop the batucada2

And to think about serious things

And whatever day

She still comes to ask, I bet

To get me to leave the company of the friends that I like better

And there's more:

I am tired when I arrive

I get extra work

I only want to relax a little

But unhappy

She reminds me complaining

She sends me for errands

And stays at home relaxing
