Ando com minha cabeça já pelas tabelas
I'm already running my head through the tables
Claro que ninguém se toca com a minha aflição
Of course no one is touched by my distress
Quando vi todo mundo na rua de blusa amarela
When I saw everyone on the street wearing yellow blouses
Eu achei que era ela puxando o cordão
I thought it was her pulling the string
Oito horas e danço de blusa amarela
Eight o'clock and dancing in a yellow blouse
Minha cabeça talvez faça as pazes assim
My head might make peace like this
Quando ouvi a cidade de noite batendo as panelas
When I heard the city at night banging the pots
Eu pensei que era ela voltando pra
I thought it was her coming back
Minha cabeça de noite batendo panelas
My head banging pans at night
Provavelmente não deixa a cidade dormir
Probably won't let the city sleep
Quando vi um bocado de gente descendo as favelas
When I saw a lot of people going down to the favelas
Eu achei que era o povo que vinha pedir
I thought it was the people who came to ask
A cabeça de um homem que olhava as favelas
The head of a man looking at the favelas
Minha cabeça rolando no Maracanã
My head rolling at Maracanã
Quando vi a galera aplaudindo de pé as tabelas
When I saw the crowd standing and applauding the tables
Eu jurei que era ela que vinha chegando
I swore she was the one coming
Com minha cabeça já pelas tabelas
With my head already through the tables
Claro que ninguém se toca com a minha aflição
Of course no one is touched by my distress
Quando vi todo mundo na rua de blusa amarela
When I saw everyone on the street wearing yellow blouses
Eu achei que era ela puxando o cordão
I thought it was her pulling the string
Oito horas e danço de blusa amarela
Eight o'clock and dancing in a yellow blouse
Minha cabeça talvez faça as pazes assim
My head might make peace like this
Quando ouvi a cidade de noite batendo as panelas
When I heard the city at night banging the pots
Eu pensei que era ela voltando pra
I thought it was her coming back
Minha cabeça de noite batendo panelas
My head banging pans at night
Provavelmente não deixa a cidade dormir
Probably won't let the city sleep
Quando vi um bocado de gente descendo as favelas
When I saw a lot of people going down to the favelas
Eu achei que era o povo que vinha pedir
I thought it was the people who came to ask
A cabeça de um homem que olhava as favelas
The head of a man looking at the favelas
Minha cabeça rolando no Maracanã
My head rolling at Maracanã
Quando vi a galera aplaudindo de pé as tabelas
When I saw the crowd standing and applauding the tables
Eu jurei que era ela que vinha chegando
I swore she was the one coming
Com minha cabeça já numa baixela
With my head already on a plate
Claro que ninguém se toca com a minha aflição
Of course no one is touched by my distress
Quando vi todo mundo na rua de blusa amarela
When I saw everyone on the street wearing yellow blouses
Eu achei que era ela puxando o cordão
I thought it was her pulling the string
Oito horas e danço de blusa amarela
Eight o'clock and dancing in a yellow blouse
Minha cabeça talvez faça as pazes assim
My head might make peace like this
Quando ouvi a cidade de noite batendo as panelas
