Os Dez Mandamentos do Malandro

Pay attention to what is trickery
And with all due respect, I'll tell you
The trickster has philosophy and good behavior
The true trickster, he knows by heart his ten commandments
(You can pay attention)

The first commandment is to keep your word, whatever it takes
The second explains that in others' lives, no one has the right to interfere
The third criticizes the slyness
The fourth is angry against cowardice
For those who don't know the fifth commandment, teach to respect
The sixth says that against trickery, a thousand falsehoods cannot dwell
(So you can pay attention)

Pay attention to what is trickery
And, with all due respect, I'll tell you
The trickster has philosophy and good behavior
The true trickster, he knows by heart his ten commandments

It's up to the seventh to tell the fallen not to deceive
He never admits to tricking others to get up
The eighth doesn't like the weak, he does the job when it's time for a fight
The ninth detests the traitor, betrayal is a mortal sin
And the tenth commandment makes many heads roll
It condemns the snitch and calls the executioner to act
Because a true trickster prefers to die than to snitch
