Até o Fim

When I was born, a mischievous angel came
The annoying cherub
And decreed that I was destined
To be wrong like this
Right from the start, my path twisted
But I'll go until the end

Still a boy, I stopped going to school
They revoked my report card
I'm not a thief, I'm not good at soccer
Nor can I hear a bugle
A good future is what never awaited me
But I'll go until the end

I've been trying for progress
I became a party singer
Mom said I'm a huge success
In Quixeramobim
I don't know how the maracatu started
But I'll go until the end

Because of some side issues
They broke my mandolin
They don't want to hear my troubles anymore
And my lousy voice
I got a belly, my mule stalled
But I'll go until the end

No more cigarettes, my income ran out
My grass got a curse
My wife ran away with the store owner
What will become of me?
I don't even remember where I'm going
But I'll go until the end

As I said, it was a mischievous angel
The annoying cherub
Who decreed that I was destined
To be all bad
Right from the start, my path twisted
But I'll go until the end
