E O Mundo Não Se Acabou Lyrics in English by Paula Toller
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song E O Mundo Não Se Acabou by Paula Toller from Portuguese to English.
Anunciaram e garantiram
They announced and guaranteed
Que o mundo ia se acabar
that the world was going to end
Por causa disso a minha gente
Because of that my family
Lá de casa começou a rezar
at home started to pray
Até disseram que o sol ia nascer
They even said the sun would rise
Antes da madrugada
before dawn
Por causa disso nesta noite
Because of that tonight
Lá no morro não se fez batucada
up on the hill there was no drumming
Acreditei nessa conversa mole
I believed that nonsense
Pensei que o mundo ia se acabar
I thought the world was going to end
E fui tratando de me despedir
And I started to say goodbye
E sem demora fui tratando de aproveitar
And quickly I started to enjoy myself
Beijei na boca de quem não devia
I kissed someone I shouldn't have
Peguei na mão de quem não conhecia
I held the hand of someone I didn't know
Dancei um samba em traje de maillot
I danced a samba in a swimsuit
E o tal do mundo não se acabou
And that world didn't end
Chamei um gajo com quem não me dava
I called a guy I didn't get along with
E perdoei a sua ingratidão
and forgave his ingratitude
E festejando o acontecimento
And celebrating the event
Gastei com ele mais de 'quinhentão'!
I spent more than "five hundred bucks" with him!
Agora eu soube que o gajo anda
Now I found out the guy is
Dizendo coisa que não se passou
saying things that didn't happen
Vai ter barulho, vai ter confusão
There's going to be trouble, there's going to be a mess
Porque o mundo não se acabou
because the world didn't end
Anunciaram e garantiram
They announced and guaranteed
Que o mundo ia se acabar
that the world was going to end

Did you like this lyrics translation?
quinhentão — five hundred bucks (slang)
Quinhentão is a colloquial and somewhat playful term for "five hundred" (reais, in Brazil, or any currency in a general sense of a large sum). It's a augmentative form of quinhentos (five hundred), implying a significant amount of money.
In the song, the narrator, believing the world is ending, spends mais de "quinhentão" (more than "five hundred bucks") with someone she usually doesn't get along with. This word adds a touch of everyday Brazilian slang and highlights the extravagance of her actions, making it memorable and culturally interesting.
