Velho Ditado

I prefer my flip-flop
Than a tight German chrome
I'm one of those who are better alone
Than in bad company
I roll in the world like a ball
Just because we weren't born square

(Chorus)
I keep one eye on the frying fish
And I keep the other on the cat next to me

Big eye doesn't enter China
Who walks with a pig only eats bran
Woman with woman, always ends in alligator
Man with man, will become a werewolf

In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king
One day the hunter, the next the hunted
Do as I say, not as I do
The student doesn't know more than the teacher

Who sings drives away their troubles
I keep moving forward, because there are people behind
Pepper in someone else's eye is refreshing
And a given horse is not looked at its teeth

(Chorus)
A clock that is late is of no use
Who sows the wind, reaps the whirlwind
Lay down with a dog, get up with fleas
Who is old today was once young

Ripe orange is the one that gets hit
Doesn't want to be a mom, will stay single
A pig's crash doesn't kill a mosquito
For me, each crazy person with their own way

Slowly but surely
I know how many sticks it takes to make a canoe
I also admire Istanbul
But I stay in Xerém, because it's good land

(Chorus)
Justice may be delayed but it doesn't fail
Don't cry over spilled milk

I keep one eye on the frying fish
And I keep the other on the cat next to me

Friends, friends, business aside
Don't interfere where you're not called

I keep one eye on the frying fish
And I keep the other on the cat next to me

Don't lose the beat, get your step right
Learn a little from the old saying

I keep one eye on the frying fish
And I keep the other on the cat next to me

An old man's fall doesn't raise dust
A boa doesn't run but catches the gay

I keep one eye on the frying fish
And I keep the other on the cat next to me
