Quando Eu Contar (Iaiá)

Hey there
Hey there, hey there
My girl doesn't know what I know
What I saw in the places I've been
When I tell you, hey there, you'll be amazed
When I tell you, hey there, you'll be amazed

I saw a different kind
Robbing hard-working folks
Living in a very dangerous hill
A guy named Skull runs the show
That's when the boy
Poor little guy, met Skull
Got a beating, fell down the slope
Hey there, my girl, died in vain, hey there

Hey there
My girl doesn't know what I know
What I saw in the places I've been
When I tell you, hey there, you'll be amazed
When I tell you, hey there, you'll be amazed

Took a trip to the city
Hey there, my girl, if I knew, I wouldn't go
All I saw was crookedness, all I saw was cowardice
Don't know how anyone can live there
When I saw the wage that the poor worker supports his family with
I was shocked, hey there, my daughter
Got on a horse and came back to you, hey there

Hey there
My girl doesn't know what I know
What I saw in the places I've been
When I tell you, hey there, you'll be amazed
When I tell you, hey there, you'll be amazed

Went to a voodoo ceremony, to find out about the commotion
Got involved in the ritual, sang for the spirits, got the goods
Performed the rituals, closed my body
Hey there, I did everything right
Laid down for the saint, shaved, cleansed
Leave me aside, cursed dog
I'm blessed, I'm within the law, hey there

Hey there
My girl doesn't know what I know
What I saw in the places I've been
When I tell you, hey there, you'll be amazed
When I tell you, hey there, you'll be amazed.
