Lyrics

Quando eu era vocalista
Nos meus tempos de conjunto
Eu nem tinha má figura
E nem desafinava muito
O nando era o baterista
E o baixista era o berto
Nunca entravam no tempo
Mas mantinham o ritmo certo
O mingos de fato e camisa
E colarinho engomado
Dava murros no farfisa
Quando ficava empolgado
Na parelha das guitarras
O lau e o quim perfume
Quando o quim fazia um solo
O lau abria o volume
Quando me punha a cantar
Eu tinha desfaçatez
Porque eu não sabia dizer
Uma palavra em inglês
Dessa vez foi sabotagem
O microfone a assobiar
E eu perdido no palco
Sem conseguir afinar
Gerou-se a confusão
Por causa do fio de beque
E eu saí fora do tom
E pus os samurais em xeque
Por causa do fio de beque
Por causa do fio de beque

Lyrics translation

When I was a vocalist
In my set times
I didn't even have a bad figure
And it didn't even sound much
Nando was the drummer.
And the bass player was berto
They never got in time.
But they kept the right pace
The mingos suit and shirt
And starched collar
He was punching at farfisa.
When I got excited
On the pair of guitars
The lau and the Quim perfume
When quim made a solo
The lau opened the volume
When he would make me sing
I had undone
Because I didn't know how to say
A word in English
This time it was sabotage
The microphone whistling
And I lost on stage
Without being able to tune
There was confusion
Because of the beque wire
And I went out of tone
And I put the Samurai in check
Because of the beque wire
Because of the beque wire
