From Alabama
For the gentleman
Max overseas
Oh, my God in heaven
I feel so happy

[Teresinha]
The confirmation has arrived
Of the united thing and such
That grants us the concession
For tropical nylon

[Max]
So we will set up
A big factory in São Paulo

[Teresinha]
Then we will export
Nylon thread to Japan

[Max]
I know nylon is valuable
But it's starting to bother me
I had a much better idea
We will diversify

[Teresinha]
I've already diversified, ha ha
Made a deal with Shell
Coca-Cola, RCA
And it will be a piece of cake

How beautiful
How rich
It's raining
From the headquarters
Oh, my God in heaven
I feel so happy

[Max] How about combining
These capitals
By opening a bank
In Minas Gerais

[Teresinha]
What a brilliant idea, my love
What an original plan
With funds abroad
You found
A national bank

[Henchmen]
And I, who used to be
Just a poor outlaw of Max
Without documents
And without morals
I will be a good professional
I will almost be a doctor
I will be the lady's
And the gentleman's
Banker or accountant

What success
The progress
Cuts the evil
At the root
Oh, my God in heaven
I feel so happy

[Chaves]
Brother
I don't even know where to start
I fear inhibiting you

[Max]
Your wish is my command
It's to speak
It's to order
It's to demand

[Chaves]
It's just that
In such a cruel world
Full of envy and bile
It won't hurt you
To have at hand
Police protection
Do you want my services?

[Max]
I think it's great

[Barrabás]
Do you need an acolyte?
(Chaves' assistant)

[Max]
I will also employ you

[Lúcia]
I have no one to leave
My child who is on the way

[Max]
Barrabás is a
Exemplary pair
Do you want to get married

[Barrabás]
And I love babies

Wonderful
What a family
Two lovebirds
And a little one
Oh, my God in heaven
I feel so happy

[Victory]
I have only one
Brief observation
To such a distinguished
Virile son-in-law
It's the forgetfulness
Of the sacrament
After all

You got married
Only civilly
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Only civilly
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Only civilly

[Max]
But in the meantime
I changed my belief
I ask for the blessing
At the holy altar

[Victory]
What a wonder
I won't lose my daughter
And a handsome
Son
I will win
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah

I will win
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
I will win

[Duran]
My daughter, I wish to ask for your forgiveness

[Teresinha]
Oh, my father, this is too good!
Finally! At last!

[Duran]
I don't know how I was
So tough on you
So bossy, so heartless
So wicked

[Max]
My father-in-law, you don't know
How much joy
It gives me to hear that you have joined
Us

[Duran]
Only God knows how long
I've wanted
To be able to hug these bones

What euphoria
Who would have thought
How kind
The great ones are
Oh, my God in heaven
I feel so happy

[Duran]
I don't want to be
A burden on your shoulders
But maybe
I need some protection

[Max]
Your traditional institution
Will have a modern
Christian and Western
Standard

[Employees]
Let's participate
In Duran's evolution
Let's all join
The production line

Let's abandon
Artisanal sex
Let's all love
On an industrial scale

[All]
The sun rose
In the sea of Copacabana
For those who lived
Only on coffee and bananas
There's razor blades, ice cream
Snack bars, neon
Oil
Cinemascope, scouring powder
Ban-lon
Shampoo, TV
Long and thin cigarettes
Smoked glass
There's napalm and colognes
There's cassettes and Ray-Bans
Pickup trucks and sedans
What a dream
Corcel, Brasília, plutonium
Shazam
What an orgy
What magic
Peace reigns
In my country
Oh, my God in heaven
I feel so happy
