Homenagem Ao Malandro

I went to make a samba in tribute
To the cream of the tricksters
That I know from other carnivals
I went to Lapa and it was a wasted trip
Because that kind of trickster
Doesn't exist anymore

Now it's not normal anymore
The number of regular, professional tricksters
Trickster with the appearance of an official trickster
Trickster candidate for federal trickster
Trickster with a picture in the social column
Trickster with a contract, with a tie and capital
Who never fails

But the real trickster
- Doesn't show off
Retired the razor
Has a wife and child and stuff and all
Rumor has it that he even works
Lives far away and shakes
On a Central train
