Lyrics

Era um cidadão comum como esses que se vê na rua
Falava de negócios, ria, via show de mulher nua
Vivia o dia e não o sol, a noite e não a lua
Acordava sempre cedo, era um passarinho urbano
Embarcava no metrô, o nosso metropolitano
Era um homem de bons modos
Com licença, foi engano
Era feito aquela gente honesta, boa e comovida
Que caminha para a morte pensando em vencer na vida
Era feito aquela gente honesta, boa e comovida
Que tem no fim da tarde a sensação
Da missão cumprida
Acreditava em Deus e em outras coisas invisíveis
Dizia sempre sim aos seus senhores infalíveis
Pois é; tendo dinheiro não há coisas impossíveis
Mas o anjo do Senhor, de quem nos fala o Livro Santo
Desceu do céu pra uma cerveja, junto dele, no seu canto
E a morte o carregou, feito um pacote, no seu manto
Era feito aquela gente honesta, boa e comovida
Que caminha para a morte pensando em vencer na vida
Era feito aquela gente honesta, boa e comovida
Que tem no fim da tarde a sensação
Da missão cumprida
Que a terra lhe seja leve

Lyrics translation

It was an ordinary citizen like those you see on the street
Talking business, ria, via naked woman show
Lived the day and not the sun, the night and not the moon
He always woke up early, he was an urban bird
Boarded the subway, our subway
He was a man of good manners
Excuse me, it was a mistake.
It was made that people honest, good and moved
Who walks to death thinking of winning in life
It was made that people honest, good and moved
That has in the late afternoon the feeling
Mission accomplished
Believed in God and other invisible things
He always said yes to his infallible Masters
Yes it is; having money there are no impossible things
But the Angel Of The Lord, of whom the holy book speaks
Came down from the sky for a beer, next to him, in his corner
And death carried him, like a bundle, in his robe
It was made that people honest, good and moved
Who walks to death thinking of winning in life
It was made that people honest, good and moved
That has in the late afternoon the feeling
Mission accomplished
May the earth be light to you
