Profissão de Ladrão [English translation]

They told the deputy

I was a bum

I hadn't work for a week

I supported a woman with five children

The deputy ordered me

To go to the station

To give testimony

About what I didn't even know

But I have so many jobs

I can't even count them

Inventor, Industrialist, even Surgeon

I operated on, many no good people

I'll tell you

That in the making of dummies I'm an Industrialist

But , for charity, keep it a secret, mister

Because I anwser to house calls in society

And has an inventor I'm proud, because I

Have honored the Memory of Santos Dumont

I invented a machine

Still back in my home land

That made a thousand cruise ships

Better than those of England

I know that those who steal one, are kids

At ten, gets promoted to thief

If one steals a hundred is over doctor

And 10 thousand, one's a national figure

And if one steals 80 million...

Its international diplomacy.

The "Good Neighbour Policy" and other "things"

Because, in the thief's business

Injustice and prejudice

Give enough rain for a flood

For some fame and respect

For other a curse

Because the size of the theft

Makes the thief's honor

And that's why I'm the only who goes to jail

Mr. Deputy.

If you bring first

every thief into my side

There isn't going to be a prison in the world

Where the crowd may fit.

I know i'm not polite

But to those who felt hurt

Is because they have their sin.
