O Analfabeto
Moreira da Silva
The Illiterate
The illiterate does not succeed in life
And he has his work tied to others
The illiterate knows nothing
Don't read the news in the newspapers
The illiterate is a parrot
He only speaks because he hears someone else speak
And in case of signing a document
He leaves the token of his thumb
You can use your vocabulary
A PhD student said to an illiterate person at a dinner
He replied: My plate is full
I'll just accept a little bit, so I can taste it
I swear that in that environment
Everyone laughed at this man who suffers
He was asked if he was a comedian, he said
Me, huh doctor! It would be better if it were, but not this one

The illiterate knows nothing
Don't read the news in the newspapers
The illiterate is a parrot
He only speaks because he hears someone else speak
And in case of signing a document
He leaves the token of his thumb
When to use your vocabulary
