O Pobretão Lyrics in English Amado Batista
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song O Pobretão by Amado Batista from Portuguese to English.
Que pena que eu não posso ser
It's a shame I can't be
O namorado rico que você quer ter
The rich boyfriend you want to have
Dou um duro danado pra ganhar o pão
I work my a** off to earn a living
E não tenho um tostão
And I don't have a penny
Que pena que eu não posso dar
It's a shame I can't give
O anel de brilhantes que te faz sonhar
The diamond ring that makes you dream
A minha bicicleta é o meu carrão
My bicycle is my fancy car
Eu sou um pobretão
I'm really poor
Mas se você quiser ganhar um grande amor
But if you want to gain a great love
Prometo a minha vida inteira pra você
I promise my whole life to you
Eu juro ser sincero no riso e na dor
I swear to be sincere in joy and in sorrow
Enquanto a gente viver
As long as we live
Eu quero trabalhar e me esforçar bastante
I want to work and strive very hard
Pra ficar a altura da sua ambição
To be worthy of your ambition
Mas hoje só posso te dar o meu coração
But today I can only give you my heart
Mas hoje só posso te dar o meu coração
But today I can only give you my heart
Que pena que eu não posso dar
It's a shame I can't give
O anel de brilhantes que te faz sonhar
The diamond ring that makes you dream
A minha bicicleta é o meu carrão
My bicycle is my fancy car
Eu sou um pobretão
I'm really poor
Mas se você quiser ganhar um grande amor
But if you want to gain a great love
Prometo a minha vida inteira pra você
I promise my whole life to you
Eu juro ser sincero no riso e na dor
I swear to be sincere in joy and in sorrow
Enquanto a gente viver
As long as we live
Eu quero trabalhar e me esforçar bastante
I want to work and strive very hard
Pra ficar a altura da sua ambição
To be worthy of your ambition
Mas hoje só posso te dar o meu coração
But today I can only give you my heart
Mas hoje só posso te dar o meu coração
But today I can only give you my heart
Mas hoje só posso te dar o meu coração
But today I can only give you my heart
Mas hoje só posso te dar o meu coração
But today I can only give you my heart

pobretão — poor man / pauper
Pobretão is a colloquial and somewhat endearing term in Portuguese that means "poor man" or "pauper." It's the augmentative form of "pobre" (poor), implying not just being poor, but perhaps being very poor, or emphasizing the state of poverty.
In the song, the singer uses this word to describe himself, contrasting his humble financial situation with the rich boyfriend his love interest desires. It's a central theme of the song, highlighting his lack of material wealth but offering his sincere love instead.
