O Lobo Da Madrugada

When you saw me
You saw kindness in my eyes
And thought you discovered your oil wells
Mistook me for a clown
For a fool or for a saint
And then threw your lasso
What a failure, however

You came to seek wool
And left sheared
Morning little sheep
I am the wolf of dawn

I just wanted protection
With a few million a month
Just wanted the heart
Of me and a few more

Just wanted my affection
With necklaces and rings
A car and a roof
For the unfaithful moments

But you came to seek wool
And left sheared
Morning little sheep
I am the wolf of dawn

It's that I lived in the hill
From shoeshiner to bachelor
I frequented samba circles
There in Noel's land

I fell early into the world
And learned since childhood
To recognize a scoundrel
A hundred meters away

And you came to seek wool
And left sheared
Morning little sheep
I am the wolf of dawn
