Lyrics

Lá vem o Chico Brito
Descendo o morro nas mãos do Peçanha
É mais um processo!
É mais uma façanha!
Chico Brito fez do baralho seu melhor esporte
É valente no morro
Dizem que fuma uma erva do norte
Quando menino teve na escola
Era aplicado, tinha religião
Quando jogava bola era escolhido para capitão
Mas, a vida tem os seus revezes
Diz sempre Chico defendendo teses
Se o homem nasceu bom, e bom não se conservou
A culpa é da sociedade que o transformou

Lyrics translation

Here Comes Chico Brito
Down the hill in the hands of Peçanha
It's more of a process!
It's another feat!
Chico Brito made the deck his best sport
He's brave on the hill
They say he smokes a northern weed
When boy had in school
It was applied, it had religion
When he played ball he was chosen to captain
But, life has its turns
Always says Chico defending theses
If man was born good, and good was not preserved
The fault is the society that transformed him
