O Pobre e o Rico

The rich is the one who eats everything
Everything he wants, he eats
But the poor who works
Earns little and goes hungry

The rich eats caviar, eats prime cuts
In life, the rich has everything and eats whatever he wants
Where the rich puts his finger, the poor doesn't put his foot
The poor eats crackers, pig tripe, and sardines
Pumpkin farofa, ox stomach with flour
Eats couscous with butter and potatoes with small birds

The rich takes the family to the beauty salon
Gets a haircut and skin cleansing
And the daughter comes back so beautiful she looks like a princess
The poor takes the family to a cheap and weak salon
Gets his head shaved and armpit hair cut
And the son ends up looking like a little monkey

When the rich gets sick, he goes to the best hospital
The next day his name appears in the newspaper
Saying that the devil is no longer feeling unwell
And when the poor gets sick, he's happy if he survives
And when he's hospitalized, the food is bread and porridge
If he groans a lot at night, the coffee that comes is a slap

The rich man's son has a good life
His daddy pays for his studies and on weekends
He goes out with his girl to ride in a Santana
The poor man's son goes for a ride on a donkey
Puts the woman on the back and runs against the wind
When the donkey jumps, he lands on the cement

The rich man's wife goes to the maternity ward
To give birth to a boy, they speak honestly
She receives millions of gifts from high society
The poor man's wife, when she goes to rest
The gift she receives is crackers and soda
And a lollipop for the boy to suck

The rich man's wife walks in good leather shoes
Hair well groomed, earrings worth a fortune
Silver bracelet and necklace, gold watch and chain
The poor man's wife walks without style
Hair unkempt, coat weird
And the skirt has more holes than a lollipop stick

The rich man's daughter graduates to work in an office
Special office, telephone, office
Engineer, medicine, laboratory test
The poor man's daughter grows old without education
When a job appears, it's on the street of bitterness
To throw trash cans in the city hall's car

The rich man's son only bathes in the shower
A box of soap, two, three foreign perfumes
Each bath is a piece of clothing and each perfume is a scent
The poor man's son only gets wet in the pond
He can't see a maid without thinking she'll help him
And his neck and ribs have almost a chest of grime

The rich man's daughter finds a boyfriend
He goes to her house in a brand new car
Because he's the son of a doctor, mayor, or deputy
The poor man's daughter, when she finds a guy
She says: My dad is rich and people know who he is
He's the one who sells popcorn at the door of the brothel

The rich man's daughter goes to study in Japan
In Greece, Argentina, even Afghanistan
Because the rich man's daughter only travels by plane
The poor man's daughter in the rough countryside
Spends four, five days looking at the first book
Choking on the smoke from the lantern's light
