Lyrics
Ouvi da minha desdita
Certo dia em que eu passei
Numa ruela tão estreita
Que onde fica eu já nem sei
Calhou de estar à janela
Nesse dia, àquela hora
A criatura tão bela
Que naquela casa mora
Delicada de cintura
E com setas no olhar
Ao ver a minha figura
Sorriu e mandou-me entrar
Nesse dia à mesma hora
Não chegou pelo jantar
O fiador da cidade
E lá o foram procurar
Veio dar à beira rio
Sem roupas, sem cor, desfeito
Com as vergonhas de fora
E três facadas no peito
Por nunca ter um tostão
Fui o principal suspeito
Fizeram de mim o vilão
Naquele golpe perfeito
Logo de manhãzinha
Ao juiz eu fui chamado
E qual não foi o meu espanto
Eu já lá tinha estado
Era aquela tal ruela
Estreita como a minha sorte
Sem ter ninguém à janela
Desta vez bati à porta
Sem nada que desculpasse
Obra que eu não assinei
Fosse qual fosse o desfecho
Eu nada tinha contra a Lei
E o meu álibi ficou preso
No nó da minha garganta
Sei que se põe à janela
E se houver sol ainda canta
Lyrics translation
I've heard of my desidita
One day I spent
In such a narrow alley
That where is I do not even know
I thought I was by the window.
That day, at that hour
The creature so beautiful
That in that house lives
Delicate waist
And with arrows on the look
By seeing my figure
He smiled and sent me in.
That day at the same time
He didn't arrive for dinner.
The guarantor of the city
And there they went looking for him
Came to give by the river
No clothes, no color, undone
With the shame out
And three stab wounds to the chest
For never having a penny
I was the prime suspect.
They made me the villain.
In that perfect blow
Early morning
To the judge I was called
And what was not my amazement
I had already been there
It was that alley
Narrow as my luck
Without anyone at the window
This time I knocked on the door
With nothing to excuse
Work that I did not sign
Whatever the outcome
I had nothing against the law
And my alibi got stuck
In the knot of my throat
I know you go to the window
And if there is sun still sings
