Acorda Amor
Chico Buarque
Wake Up, Love
Wake up, love
I had a nightmare just now
Dreamt there were people outside
Knocking on the gate, what a distress
It was the cops, in a very dark vehicle
Oh my goodness, holy creature
Call, call, call there
Call, call the thief, call the thief
Wake up, love
It's not a nightmare anymore
There are people already on the stairs
Causing a commotion, what a distress
They are the men
And here I am standing in my pajamas
I don't like to be embarrassed
Call, call, call
Call the thief, call the thief
If I take a few months
It's sometimes better for you to suffer
But after a year of absence
Put on your Sunday clothes
And you can forget about me
Wake up, love
The beast is fierce and doesn't rest
If you run, the beast catches you
If you stay, I don't know
Attention!
Don't delay
One of these days your time will come
Don't argue needlessly, don't complain
Cry out, call there, call, call
Call the thief, call the thief, call the thief
(Don't forget the toothbrush, the soap, and the guitar)
