Domingo No Parque

The king of fun
Hey, José!
The king of confusion
Hey, João!
One worked at the fair
Hey, José!
The other in construction
Hey, João!

Last week
At the end of the week
João decided not to fight
On Sunday afternoon
He hurried out
And didn't go to Ribeira to play
Capoeira!
He didn't go there
To Ribeira, he went to date

José as always
At the end of the week
Packed up the tent and disappeared
He went on Sunday
For a walk in the park
Near Boca do Rio

It was in the park
That he saw
Juliana
That he saw
That he saw Juliana in the circle with João
A rose and an ice cream in hand
Juliana his dream, an illusion
Juliana and friend João

The thorn of the rose hurt Zé
(Hurt Zé!) (Hurt Zé!)
And the ice cream chilled his heart
The ice cream and the rose
Oh, José!
The rose and the ice cream
Oh, José!
Dancing in the chest
Oh, José!
Of playful José
Oh, José!

The ice cream and the rose
Oh, José!
The rose and the ice cream
Oh, José!
Spinning in the mind
Oh, José!
Of playful José
Oh, José!

Juliana spinning
Spinning!
Hey, on the Ferris wheel
Hey, spinning!
Hey, on the Ferris wheel
Hey, spinning!
The friend João (João)

The ice cream is strawberry
It's red!
Hey, spinning and the rose
It's red!
Hey spinning, spinning
It's red!
Hey, spinning, spinning

Look at the knife! (Look at the knife!)
Look at the blood on the hand
Hey, José!
Juliana on the ground
Hey, José!
Another body fallen
Hey, José!
Your friend João
Hey, José!

Tomorrow there's no fair
Hey, José!
No more construction
Hey, João!
No more fun
Hey, José!
No more confusion
Hey, João!
