The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Caco Velho" by Aracy De Almeida.

Lyrics

Reside no subúrbio do Encantado
Num barracão abandonado
João de Tal
Cabra falado
E dizem que viveu fora da lei
Foi um rei
Que zombava da morte
Tinha um santo forte
No meio da gente bamba
O seu prazer era tirar um samba
Pulava, dava rasteira
Topava briga de qualquer maneira
Mas hoje é um caco velho
Que não vale nada
Tem a cabeça branca
A pele encarquilhada
Faz até pena ver o seu estado
A vida é essa
É um segundo que se esvai depressa
Todos nós temos o nosso momento
E depois dele o esquecimento

Lyrics translation

Lives in the suburb of Encantado
In an abandoned shed
John of such
Goat spoken
And they say he lived outside the law
It was a king
Who mocked death
Had a strong Saint
In the middle of the bamba people
Your pleasure was to take a samba
Jump, crawl
Bumped into a fight anyway
But today it's an old shit
That's not worth anything
Has a white head
The curly skin
It's a shame to see your state
Life is that
It's a second that goes away quickly
We all have our moment
And after him oblivion
