Beth Carvalho — Velho Ateu song lyrics and translation

The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Velho Ateu" by Beth Carvalho.

Lyrics

Um velho ateu, um bêbado cantor, poeta
Na madrugada cantava essa canção, seresta
Se eu fosse Deus a vida bem que melhorava
Se eu fosse Deus daria aos que não tem nada
E toda janela fechava
Pr’os versos que aquele poeta cantava
Talvez por medo das palavras
De um velho de mãos desarmadas

Lyrics translation

An old atheist, a drunk singer, poet
At dawn I sang this song, seresta
If I were God Life Well that would improve
If I were God I would give to those who have nothing
And every window closed
PR'os verses that poet sang
Maybe for fear of words
From an old man with unarmed hands
