Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Charles, Anjo 45 by Jorge Ben Jor from Portuguese to English.
Ôba, ôba, ôba, Charles (ah, ah)
Yay, yay, yay, Charles (ah, ah)
Como é que é, my friend Charles? (Ah, ah)
How is it, my friend Charles? (Ah, ah)
Como vão as coisas, Charles? (Ah, ah)
How are things going, Charles? (Ah, ah)
Charles, Anjo 45
Charles, Angel 45
Protetor dos fraco' e dos oprimidos
Protector of the weak and the oppressed
Robin Hood dos morros, rei da malandragem
Robin Hood of the hills, king of trickery
Um homem de verdade
A real man
Com muita coragem, só porque um dia
With a lot of courage, just because one day
Charles marcou bobeira
Charles made a mistake
E foi tirar sem querer férias numa colônia penal
And he accidentally went on vacation to a penal colony
Então os malandros otários
So the rascally suckers
Deitaram na sopa
They poured it into the soup
E uma tremenda bagunça, o nosso morro virou
And a tremendous mess, our hill became
Pois o morro que era um céu
For the hill that was a sky
Sem o nosso Charles, um inferno virou, ô, ô
Without our Charles, hell broke loose, oh, oh
Mas Deus é justo
But God is fair
E verdadeiro
Is true
Pois antes de acabar as férias
Well, before the holidays end
Nosso Charles vai voltar (ah, ah)
Our Charles will return (ah, ah)
Paz, alegria geral
Peace, general joy
Todo morro vai sambar
Every hill will samba
Antecipando o carnaval
Anticipating carnival
Vai ter batucada
There will be drumming
Uma missa de ação de graças
A Mass of Thanksgiving
Vai ter feijoada
There will be feijoada
Whisky com cerveja e outras milongas mais (ah, ah)
Whiskey with beer and other milongas (ah, ah)
Muita queima de fogos
Lots of fireworks
E saraivadas de balas pro ar
And volleys of bullets into the air
Pra quando nosso Charles voltar (ah, ah)
For when our Charles returns (ah, ah)
E o morro inteiro feliz assim vai cantar
And the whole hill will sing happily like this
Ôba, ôba, ôba, Charles (ah, ah)
Yay, yay, yay, Charles (ah, ah)
Como é que é, my friend Charles? (Ah, ah)
How is it, my friend Charles? (Ah, ah)
Como vão as coisas, Charles? (Ah, ah)
How are things going, Charles? (Ah, ah)
Ôba, ôba, ôba, ôba Charles (ah, ah)
Yay, yay, yay, yay Charles (ah, ah)
Como é que é, my friend Charles? (Ah, ah)
How is it, my friend Charles? (Ah, ah)
Como vão as coisas, Charles? (Ah, ah)
How are things going, Charles? (Ah, ah)
Charles (oh)
Charles (oh)
Ê, ê, ê, é
Eh, eh, eh, eh
Cha-ar-les, é
Cha-ar-les, yeah
Ôba, ôba, ôba, Charles (ah, ah)
Yay, yay, yay, Charles (ah, ah)
Como é que é, my friend Charles? (Ah, ah)
How is it, my friend Charles? (Ah, ah)
Me desculpe meu amigo, Charles, eu estou rouco
I'm sorry my friend, Charles, I'm hoarse
Ah, ai
Oh, oh
Ôba, ôba, ôba, Charles (ah, ah)
Yay, yay, yay, Charles (ah, ah)
Como é que é, my friend Charles? (Ah, ah)
How is it, my friend Charles? (Ah, ah)
Charles!
