Ganhou de prêmio num programa de televisão
Won a prize on a television show
Uma passagem pra correr pelo Brasil
A ticket to run across Brazil
Tudo de graça
All for free
Chorou de apetite
Cried out of hunger
Fingindo que era emoção
Pretending it was emotion
Seus amigos sempre lhe falaram em pratos típicos
Your friends always talked about typical dishes
Desmaiou, e foi levado para o camarim
Fainted, and was taken to the backstage
Uns juravam que era apendicite
Some swore it was appendicitis
Outros diziam que era rim
Others said it was a kidney
Ninguém desconfiava
No one suspected
Que a sua boca estava cheia d'água
That your mouth was full of water
E o comilão
And the big eater
Foi acordado pela produção
Was awakened by the crew
Com a cabeça cheia de tempero
With a head full of seasoning
E a barriga na mão
And his belly in hand
Sonhou esfomeado
Dreamed hungry
Desfalcando a exportação
Diluting the exports
O comilão
The big eater
Foi acordado pela produção
Was awakened by the crew
Com a cabeça cheia de tempero
With a head full of seasoning
E a barriga na mão
And the belly in hand
Sonhou esfomeado
Dreamed hungry
Desfalcando a exportação
Shortening the export
Sonhou esfomeado
Dreamed hungry
Desfalcando a exportação
Shortening the export
