Acabou a Miséria

The Misery is Over

Acabou a Miséria

It was pure luckFoi pura sorte
At the Sunday PagodeNo Pagode de domingo
I came face to face with a foreignerBati de frente com um gringo
Villegaignon the FrenchmanVillegaignon o francês
Who was enchanted by my musicQue se encantou com meu partido
And asked for an encoreE pediu bis
Moved, he promised to promote me in ParisE comovido prometeu me divulgar lá em Paris

My pagode became a hit all over FranceO meu pagode estourou em toda França
Boosting the confidence Villegaignon had in meAumentando a confiança que Villegaignon depositou em mim
But the surprise was in my shackMas a surpresa estava lá no meu barraco
On the bed, the Frenchman's telegram sayingSobre a cama o telegrama do francês dizendo assim

How are you my friendComment allez vous mon ami
Look for the money sirCherche l'argent monsieur
The truth is, the misery is overLa vérité, c'est fini la miserê

It was pure luckFoi pura sorte
