O Menino das Laranjas
Menino que vai pra feira
Vender sua laranja até se acabar
É filho de mãe solteira
Cuja ignorância tem que sustentar
É madrugada, vai sentindo frio
Porque se o cesto não voltar vazio
A mãe já arranja um outro pra laranja
Esse filho vai ter que apanhar
Compra laranja, doutor,
Ainda dou uma de quebra pro senhor!
Compra laranja, laranja, laranja, doutor,
Ainda dou uma de quebra pro senhor!
Lá, no morro, o mundo acorda cedo
E é só trabalhar
Comida é muito pouca e muito a roupa
Que a cidade manda pra lavar
E já madrugada, ele, menino, vem pra feira
Tentando encontrar
Um pouco pra comer, viver até crescer
E a vida melhorar
Compra laranja doutor,
Ainda dou uma de quebra pro senhor!
Compra laranja, laranja, laranja, doutor,
Ainda dou uma de quebra pro senhor!
É madrugada, vai sentindo frio
Porque se o cesto não voltar vazio
A mãe já arranja um outro pra laranja
Esse filho vai ter que apanhar
Compra laranja, doutor,
Ainda dou uma de quebra pro senhor!
Compra laranja, laranja, laranja, doutor,
Ainda dou uma de quebra pro senhor!
Lá, no morro, a gente acorda cedo
E é só trabalhar
Comida é muito pouca e muito a roupa
Que a cidade manda pra lavar
E já madrugada, ele, menino, vem pra feira
Tentando encontrar
Um pouco pra comer, viver até crescer
E a vida melhorar
Compra laranja, doutor,
Ainda dou uma de quebra pro senhor!
Compra laranja, laranja, laranja, doutor,
Ainda dou uma de quebra pro senhor!

Translation
The boy of the oranges
The boy who goes to the mart
Busting a gut to sell his oranges
Is son of a single mother
Whose ignorance is the reason he must provide
It's late night, starting to feel cold
Because if that basket doesn't come back empty
The mom will find another one to do the job
This son needs to be spanked
Buy my oranges, Sir,
I'll even give you one for free!
Buy my oranges, oranges, oranges, Sir,
I'll even give you one for free!
There in the hill1, daylight dawns early
And it's all about working
Too little food and too much clothes
That the city pays us to wash
And it's late night already, and him, the boy, comes to the mart
Trying to find
Some food, kicking the can down the road until he grows older
And life gets better
Buy my oranges, Sir,
I'll even give you one for free!
Buy my oranges, oranges, oranges, Sir,
I'll even give you one for free!
It's late night, starting to feel cold
Because if that basket doesn't come back empty
The mom will find another one to do the job
This son needs to be spanked
Buy my oranges, Sir,
I'll even give you one for free!
Buy my oranges, oranges, oranges, Sir,
I'll even give you one for free!
There in the hill, daylight dawns early
And it's all about working
Too little food and too much clothes
That the city pays us to wash
And it's late night already, and him, the boy, comes to the mart
Trying to find
Some food, kicking the can down the road until he grows older
And life gets better
Buy my oranges, Sir,
I'll even give you one for free!
Buy my oranges, oranges, oranges, Sir,
I'll even give you one for free!
