Malandro Medroso
Noel Rosa
Cowardly Hustler
I owe, I won't deny, but I'll pay you when I can
If the game allows, if the cops agree, and if God wills
Don't think I was ungrateful, or that I played a sad role
Today I saw that fear is real and I don't want a fight
With your old man
The conscience now that hurts me
And I avoid competition, the only one who likes me is me!
Right now, feeling nostalgic, I take my leave
'Cause your old man is jealous and might shoot me
If one day you find yourself in this world with no one left
I'll give you my affection
Where one has their little spot, two can live too
You can keep what I tell you, counting on gratitude
And with the skilled arm of a hustler who's a coward
But has a good heart
The conscience now that hurts me
And I hate the competition, the only one who likes me is me!
Right now, feeling nostalgic, I take my leave
'Cause your old man is jealous and might shoot me
