Lyrics

Manuel
Foi pro céu
Manuel
Foi pro céu
Ia pro trabalho cansado
Às 6 da manhã
Ouvia no seu rádio
Calcinhas e sutiã
No rádio era um funk
O trem tava lotado
Pensou no seu salário
Ficou desanimado
Se eu fosse americano
Minha vida não seria assim
Manuel
Foi pro céu
Manuel
Foi pro céu
Dia após dia, ouvia a sua vó lhe falar
O mundo é fabuloso, o ser humano é que não é legal
No rádio era um funk, o trem tava lotado
Pensou no seu salário, ficou desanimado
Se eu fosse um político, minha vida não seria assim
Não, não, não, não
Manuel
Foi pro céu
Manuel
Foi pro céu

Lyrics translation

Manuel
It went to heaven
Manuel
It went to heaven
I was going to work tired
At 6 a.m.
Heard on your radio
Panties and bra
On the radio it was a funk
The train was crowded
Thought about your salary
He became discouraged
If I were American
My life wouldn't be like this
Manuel
It went to heaven
Manuel
It went to heaven
Day after day, I listened to your grandmother speak to you
The world is fabulous, the human being is not cool
On the radio it was a funk, the train was crowded
He thought about his salary, got discouraged
If I were a politician, my life would not be like this
No, no, no, no
Manuel
It went to heaven
Manuel
It went to heaven
