Pra Tomar Três [English translation]

I wanted to drink three glasses

It were only three

I wanted to drink three glasses

And come back at eleven

I wound up drinking eleven and coming back at three

I wanted to drink three glasses

And come back at eleven

I wound up drinking eleven and coming back at three

I lost Adoniran's train 1

It was already two in the morning

And I was on my own

But anyway, this is good

Bring another one, waiter

I was never good at counting

I wanted to drink three glasses

It were only three

I wanted to drink three glasses

And come back at eleven

I wound up drinking eleven and coming back at three

I was never good at Math

But I'm great in Portuguese

That's why I affirm, so emphatic

That when I say I'll drink eleven

You can bet that I'll drink three

I wanted to drink three glasses

It were only three

I wanted to drink three glasses

And come back at eleven

I wound up drinking eleven and coming back at three
