Melô do Bêbado

And if you were in my place
What would you do?
Would you drink or not?
You have to give me a little reason
I don't drink too much
I just drink a little of nothing

I drink (hic! Hic!) cachaça

You went to my house calling me a scoundrel
Telling my family that I only walk around drunk
Drunk is my fate, I was born to be a drunkard
I'll give you a good idea if you pay 51

I drink (hic! Hic!) cachaça
I drink (hic! Hic!) cachaça
I drink (hic! Hic!) cachaça
I drink (hic! Hic!) cachaça

In my mother's belly they planned without money
That I would be a great man instead of a drunkard
But my parents got drunk, what despair
The cravings only passed by drinking old barreiro

On the day of my birth, I received my first slap
And cried the whole time with a stupid face
My mother couldn't stand it, said: What a boring thing
They found out it was a whim to play with a bottle

I drink (hic! Hic!) cachaça
I drink (hic! Hic!) cachaça

At the time of the baptism, they didn't use holy water
They threw me a drink that burned like pepper
And the priest, startled, said: How disgusting
Seeing me lick, licking mint liqueur

The pacifiers were always immersed in a little pot
Inside a rooster's tail just to get the taste
Rooster's tail to get the taste
Of pitu, fogo paulista or even tatuzinho

Oh, ah, I drink (hic! Hic!) cachaça
Oh, ah, I drink (hic! Hic!) cachaça

And time went by, I stopped being stubborn
Good people called me, I became a good guy
But the group only said: You won't make it past twenty
At this rate, your end is drowned in cachaça

They've done everything to try to convince me
That cachaça is a disaster, I won't live long
They found me in the gutter, I don't remember what I was doing
I just remember a dog licking my face

Oh, ah, I drink cachaça
Oh, ah, I drink (hic! Hic!) cachaça

You tell everyone that the one who drinks has no owner
Asleep with the drink, I don't know if I'm going or we're going
I guarantee you, I'm not lying, that's just how I don't drink
I just drink, drink, drink, but sometimes I eat too

The first girlfriend only walked by my side
Saying I was handsome, but a little shy
She was very hot, had a lot of fire
And to face the beast, you had to take a shot

Oh, ah, I drink (hic! Hic!) cachaça
Oh, ah, I drink (hic! Hic!) cachaça

Profession, glass in hand, cachaça taster
This is a gift, don't joke around
When I get a little beach, I just check if it's pure
If it's top quality, I drink even with the cap

Now I'm going home to undo this mess
You, to gossip, are worse than Bussunda
If you keep looking at me with that sulky face
I'll tell you to drink pirassununga

Dr-dr-dr-dr-dr-dr-dr-dr-drink cachaça
Dr-dr-dr-dr-dr-dr-dr-dr-drink cachaça
Dr-dr-dr-dr-dr-dr-dr-dr-drink cachaça
Dr-dr-dr-dr-dr-dr-dr-dr-drink cachaça

Ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-cachaça (hic! Hic!)
Ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-cachaça (hic! Hic!)
Ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-cachaça (hic! Hic!)
Ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-cachaça (hic! Hic!)

I drink (hic! Hic!) cachaça
I drink (hic! Hic!) cachaça
