Alberto
Alberto
Went to live at his girlfriend's house and it didn't work out
Alberto was too good
For his mother-in-law, he did what few people do
Treated her well
With so much affection that it made the neighbor's wife jealous
Who, having her reasons, went to confront him
And caused a big commotion, the result
A widow nearby
Grabbed a gun and went after Alberto
And the owner of the store
Watching the spectacle
Smiled saying:
'These women are crazy
Albertinho wouldn't do that to me'
His own maid
Laughed with pity and said 'Poor thing
'Alberto only appreciates the dark skin well-tanned'
She even got slapped to not be so abused
The confusion escalated when Alberto's wife arrived
And came in angry, scolding
'I am the legitimate wife
Married by the priest and civilly
By the laws of Brazil and the Vatican'
She arrived tearing up the cloth
Throwing punches in the eye
Pulling the louse picker
'If I weren't a very refined lady
Who doesn't even curse when drunk
I would show these beggars
These long necks
These poorly tanned hides
Wives of meek husbands
Leftovers from Friday with fasting and abstinence
Who didn't want insolence to be with a good guy
Who only has as his flaw
Having a heart too big on the left side'
With these hurtful words
A reinforced cane arrived
And took all the women
There were twelve married ones
Fifteen single ones
Fourteen abandoned by their husbands
What filled me with pity the most
Was when they filled a van from the juvenile court
They all went to the district
They didn't give up, continued their conflict
The police chief was worried
He shouted loudly
'Get these monkeys down, lock the door, and lose the key'
And bring me this Alberto
I want to talk to him
I want to meet this great artist up close
Ten Sherlocks threw themselves into this case
With police dogs
Machine guns
Tear gas bombs
Newspaper reports, radio and TV stations
After a lot of searching, they found Alberto
In Vila Esperança
In the garden playing with the children
His wife in the kitchen
Making a bottle for the youngest
A touching scene
But they all moved forward
And if you want to know more
Look in the newspapers tomorrow
Because Alberto
Went to live at his girlfriend's house and it didn't work out
Alberto was too good
