Aguenta Aí

My name is Joaquim
My last name is Mendes
I'm from Porto, just because
But I'm also from wherever you send

And I want to applaud the people
Who take action and move
It's at least a given
Not to stay in constant complaining

But I won't say amen
When things go wrong
Although for some
Criticism is just a sport

Hold on there, you're neither a saint nor a priest
You do your thing, but there's not a dog that doesn't bark at you
There are mornings
When a man in the afternoon
Can't go out at night
Or come back in the early morning
(What a joke!)

Every day, I leave early
For a really boring job
And the boss tells me secretly
You do a lot and you're cheap

So, to avoid walking
I have a seventh-hand car
It stops in reverse
And it doesn't accelerate either

Tired of traffic jams
Here's my contribution
I'll just send the traffic
To catch on the viaduct

Hold on there, you're neither a saint nor a priest
You do your thing, but there's not a dog that doesn't bark at you
There are mornings
When a man in the afternoon
Can't go out at night
Or come back in the early morning
(What a joke!)

I threw the stick at the cat
That was sold as a hare
I go for a walk at the Palace
But I live in a hovel

I searched for a house in the city
There's justice in this life
The proof is that poor quality
Is so well distributed

World heritage
Is pride, for sure
Just need to put on the pedestal
"Poverty not allowed here"

Hold on there, you're neither a saint nor a priest
You do your thing, but there's not a dog that doesn't bark at you
There are mornings
When a man in the afternoon
Can't go out at night
Or come back in the early morning
Hold on there, you're neither a saint nor a priest
You do your thing, but there's not a dog that doesn't bark at you
There are mornings
When a man in the afternoon
Can't go out at night
Or come back in the early morning
Hold on there, you're neither a saint nor a priest
You do your thing, but there's not a dog that doesn't bark at you
There are mornings
When a man in the afternoon
Can't go out at night
Or come back in the early morning

There are mornings
When a man in the afternoon
Can't go out at night
Or come back in the early morning
(What a joke!)
