A Cachaça e o Cigarro

The moonshine and the cigarette
Slowly kill and no one sees
I'll drink and I'll smoke
I'm not in a hurry to die

I smoke forty cigarettes
A day without complaining
Ten at coffee time
Ten when I go to lunch
Another ten at dinner time
And ten when I go to bed

They say moonshine kills
I know I'll die
It takes anyone
It takes me, it takes you
And as long as I live
I won't stop drinking

Cigarette is a temptation
It was the devil who invented it
Ruins our lungs
Heart our engine
Slowly killing
Causing sadness and pain

Moonshine became coffee
On the drunkard's table
At lunch and dinner
He drinks all day long
Without moonshine, my friend
I'll live in despair

Those who smoke lose their liver
Their throat and kidney
Smoke mint leaves
Dry crap with grass
This vulture's curse
I doubt it will catch me

The moonshine addict
Loves a binge
Only gets into trouble
Drunk the whole week
Misses the way home
Even gets beaten for nothing

Those who smoke lose their place
In the mall, in restaurants
Live as hostages to cigarettes
Poor ignorant souls
With a foul breath
Thinking they're elegant

As for the old drunkard
He's always ready
Once in a while one dies
Because of temptation
When he fights, he gets arrested
And screws up in detention

Cigarette destroyed
Many people's lives
A measure is needed
To save innocent people
Because there are children who die
Still in the womb

I've seen family men
Who destroyed their home
Lost their wives and children
Just to live in a bar
Today he's on the streets
With nowhere to live

Those who smoke are wasting away
Only they don't see it
Cigarette hindering
Their life, their leisure
Sick with no solution
Suffering until death

The drunkard too
Is in a tough spot
Drinks the whole week
Forgets even to eat
From drinking so much moonshine
Ends up losing his life

I'll pray to God
To help me
To free me from this cursed addiction
The devil's pacifier
I never want to suck again

I'll also ask God
To lift this glass for me
To stop the binge
And this life of drunkenness
I'll reduce my swollen feet
And stop drinking moonshine
