O Tesouro do Gran Marajá

(original)
Vou te contar uma história estranha de um tempo distante
Que fez a ponte entre a terra brasilis e o reino de alá
Foi numa noite sombria em que a lua estava minguante
Quando encontrei um velho viajante lá do ceará
O velho tinha um bigode pontudo e o olhar envidrado
E disse amigo vem cá que um segredo eu vou te contar
Por uma soma de dez mil cruzados te passo de grado, de papel passado
Um mapa raro que leva ao tesouro do gran marajá
Na mesma hora minha boca secou e os meus olhos brilharam
Pensei na fama, fortuna e dinheiro que eu ia encontrar
Passei no banco e saquei toda a grana que eu tinha guardado
Disse «até logo velho viajante e agora me passe esse mapa pra cá!»
Voltei pra casa peguei minha mala e a escova de dente
Botei paçoca, mandioca, farofa, farinha e fubá
E fui correndo pra beira do cais, que leva pras águas lá do oriente
E escondido num navio cargueiro fui pra bagdá
Quando lá cheguei, cheguei
Um camelo e um turbante eu comprei
Quando lá cheguei, cheguei
O narguile e o haxixe eu fumei
Eu cavei pra frente, cavei pra trás
Eu cavei bastante, eu cavei demais
E quando alguém me mandou parar
Ainda cavei mais
Eu cavei com a mão, eu cavei com a pá
Naquele sol quente que tinha lá
Mas nenhum sinal do tesouro maldito eu pude encontrar
Quem foi disse, quem me mandou acreditar
No tal do tesouro do gran marajá
Quem foi que disse que me mandou acreditar
No velho caolho que quis me enrolar
Fiquei cansado de ficar cavando
Sem nada no bolso com as mãos abanando
Fiquei na lama, sem fama e dinheiro
E sobrei com um camelo, um turbante e uma pá
E quando eu voltei, voltei
Te confesso, vergonha eu passei
E quando eu voltei, voltei
Dois barril de cachaça eu tomei
Sem nenhum tesouro do marajá
E só com histórias para contar
O velho caolho eu mandei pastar
E fugi de lá
Eu fui lá pra ilha do marajó
Pra tocar num grupo de carimbó
Eu provei o pato no tacacá
Jambu e cajá
E pra minha vida se ajeitar
Eu formei um bloco de ijexá
E em fevereiro, faço um bom dinheiro
Saindo nas ruas de ali babá
(translation)
I'll tell you a strange story from a distant time
Who built the bridge between Terra Brasilis and the Kingdom of Allah
It was on a dark night when the moon was waning
When I met an old traveler from Ceará
The old man had a pointy mustache and a glazed look
And said friend come here and I'll tell you a secret
For the sum of ten thousand Cruzados, I pass you by degrees, with pasted paper
A rare map that leads to the treasure of the Gran Maharaja
At the same time my mouth dried up and my eyes sparkled
I thought about the fame, fortune and money I was going to find
I went to the bank and withdrew all the money I had saved
He said «see you later, old traveler, and now hand me that map over here!»
I went back home and took my suitcase and toothbrush
I put paçoca, cassava, farofa, flour and cornmeal
And I ran to the edge of the pier, which leads to the waters in the east
And hidden on a cargo ship, I went to Baghdad
When I got there, I got there
A camel and a turban I bought
When I got there, I got there
Hookah and hashish I smoked
I dug forward, I dug backwards
I dug a lot, I dug too much
And when someone told me to stop
I dug even more
I dug with my hand, I dug with a shovel
In that hot sun there
But no sign of the accursed treasure I could find
Who said it, who told me to believe
In the gran maharaja's treasure
Who said that he told me to believe
In the old one-eyed man who wanted to roll me up
I got tired of digging
With nothing in your pocket with your hands waving
I was in the mud, without fame and money
And I was left with a camel, a turban and a shovel
And when I came back, I came back
I confess, I was ashamed
And when I came back, I came back
Two barrels of cachaça I drank
Without any treasure from the Maharajah
And only with stories to tell
The old one-eyed man I put to graze
And I ran away from there
I went to Marajó Island
To play in a Carimbó group
I tasted duck in tacacá
jambu and cashew
And for my life to settle down
I formed a ijexá block
And in February, I make good money
Going out on the streets of ali baba
