Abrigo de Vagabundos
Adoniran Barbosa
Vagabonds' Shelter
I earned my money
Working the whole year
In a ceramics factory
Making pots
And up in Moóca
I bought a beautiful lot ten in front and ten in the back
Built my shack
They told me that without a plan
You can't build
But whoever works hard can achieve everything
João Saracura who works for the City Hall
Was a great friend, arranged everything for me
Where are Joca and Matogrosso
Those two friends
Who didn't want to come with me
Will they be lying on São João Avenue
Or seeing the square sun in detention
My shack, the most beautiful I've ever seen
Today is legalized, no one can demolish it
My shack, the most beautiful in this world
I offer to the vagabonds
Who have nowhere to sleep
