Cachaça Mecânica
Erasmo Carlos
Mechanical Cachaça
He sold his suit
His watch and his soul
And even the saint
He sold with great faith
Bought on credit
To make his shroud
Took a sip of cachaça
And hit the road...
Mariazinha
Still saw João in the bushes
Killing a cat
To dress his tambourine
And that afternoon
Already late, she commented
There goes a man
Ending it all...
João drank
All the cachaça in the city
Hit hard
On every drum he saw
Spent his pocket
But sambaed desperately
Ate confetti
Serpentine
And the costume...
He took a fall
Right in the middle of the avenue
Suspicious
That he wouldn't drink another sip
Slept in the fall
And was trampled by the school
Died of samba
Of cachaça and revelry...
He invested so much
In the fun
For everything, everything
To end on Tuesday...
He sold his suit
And even the saint
Bought on credit
Took a sip
João in the bushes
Killing a cat
That afternoon
There goes the man...
João drank
All the cachaça in the city
Hit hard
On every drum he saw
Spent his pocket
But sambaed desperately
Ate confetti
Serpentine
And the costume...
He took a fall
Right in the middle of the avenue
Suspicious
That he wouldn't drink another sip
Slept in the fall
And was trampled by the school
Died of samba
Of cachaça and revelry...
He invested so much
In the fun
For everything, everything
To end on Tuesday...
For everything, everything
To end on Tuesday...(3x)
