Lyrics

Eu vou contar pra todos
A história de um rapaz
Que tinha há muito tempo
A fama de ser mau
Seu nome era temido
Sabia atirar bem
Seu gênio violento
Jamais gostou de alguém
E ninguém jamais
Viveu pra dizer
Que o contrariou
Sem depois morrer
Nos duelos nem piscava
No gatilho ele era o tal
Todos que o desafiavam
Tinham seu final
Mas eis que numa tarde
Alguém apareceu
Com ele quis lutar
E o mundo até tremeu
Marcaram numa esquina
Antes do pôr-do-sol
E todos já sabiam
Que um ia morrer
Nesse dia porém
O homem mau tremeu
Logo entrou num bar
E no bar bebeu
Ninguém tinha visto ainda
Ele em tal situação
Mas somente ele sabia
Qual era a razão
Chegando então a hora
Do outro encontrar
Chegando na esquina
Parou para olhar
O outro estava firme
Com a arma na mão
Fazia grande alarde
Fazendo sensação
O homem mau então
Quis logo matar
E no valentão
Quis logo atirar
E depois de um tiroteio
Todo o mundo estremeceu
Quando um grito se ouviu
O homem mau morreu
Essa é a história de um homem mau

Lyrics translation

I'll tell everyone
The story of a boy
That I had a long time ago
The fame of being evil
His name was feared
He could shoot well.
Your violent genius
Never liked anyone
And no one ever
Lived to say
That contradicted him
Without then dying
In the duels did not even blink
On the trigger he was the one
Everyone who defied him
They had their ending
But, behold, one afternoon
Someone showed up
With him I wanted to fight
And the world even trembled
They scored on a corner
Before sunset
And everyone already knew
That one would die
That day though
The evil man trembled
Soon he walked into a bar
And in the bar drank
No one had seen it yet
He in such a situation
But only he knew
What was the reason
Then the time comes
From the other find
Coming around the corner
Stopped to look
The other was firm
With the gun in hand
He was a big fan.
Making sensation
The bad man then
I wanted to kill soon
And in the bully
I wanted to shoot
And after a shooting
Everyone shuddered
When a cry was heard
The bad man died
That's the story of a bad man
