The king of mischief
Eh, José!
The king of trouble
Eh, João!
The first worked at the street market
Eh José!
The other, worked at the construction site
Eh, João!
The last week,
In the weekend
João decided not to fight
On Sunday afternoon
He went out in a hush
And he didn't go to Ribeira to fight
Capoeira!
No, he didn't go
To Ribeira, he went on a date [instead]
José, as usual,
In the weekend
Put away his market stand and went away
He went out on Sunday
For a walk in the park
Next to the Boca do Rio
It was in the park
That he saw
Juliana
And then he saw
And then he saw Juliana at the ferris wheel with João
A rose and an ice cream in her hand
Juliana, his dream, an ilusion
Juliana and his friend João
The rose's thorn hurt Zé
(It hurt Zé, it hurt Zé)
And the ice cream froze his heart
The ice cream and the rose
Oh, José!
The rose and the ice cream
Oh, José!
It danced in his heart
Oh, José!
Mischievous José's [heart]
Oh José!
The ice cream and the rose
Oh, José
The rose and the ice cream
Oh, José!
Oi, spinning in his mind
Oh, José!
Mischievous José's [mind]
Oh, José!
Juliana spinning
Oi, spinning!
Oi, at the ferris wheel
Oi, spinning!
Oi, at the ferris wheel
Oi, spinning!
His friend João (João)
The ice cream is strawberry flavored
It is red!
Oi, spinning and the rose
It is red!
Oi, spinning, spinning
It is red!
Oi, spinning, spinning
It's a knife! (It's a knife!)
Look at the blood on the hand
Eh, José!
Juliana on the ground
Eh, José!
Another body falling
Eh, José!
It his his friend João
Eh, José!
Tomorrow there will be no street market
Eh, José!
There will be no construction
Eh, João!
There will be no more mischief
Eh, José!
There will be no more trouble
Eh, João!
