Pneu furou
The tire went flat
Acenda o farol, acenda o farol
Light up the lighthouse, light up the lighthouse
Se alguém ligou
If someone called
Acenda o farol, acenda o farol
Light up the lighthouse, light up the lighthouse
Se alguém ligou, minha senhora
If someone called, my lady
Se alguém lhe amou e foi-se embora
If someone loved you and then left
Pneu furou
The tire went flat
Acenda o farol, acenda o farol
Turn on the lighthouse, turn on the lighthouse
Se alguém ligou
If someone called
Acenda o farol, acenda o farol
Turn on the lighthouse, turn on the lighthouse
Se alguém ligou, minha senhora
If someone called, my lady
Se alguém lhe amou e foi-se embora
If someone loved you and then left
Você pode se encontrar
You can find yourself
Você deve se ajudar
You must help yourself
E viver tranquilamente
And live peacefully
Sentindo disposto
Feeling energized
Pneu furou
A tire blew
Acenda o farol, acenda o farol
Light up the headlight, light up the headlight
Se alguém ligou
If someone called
Acenda o farol, acenda o farol
Light up the headlight, light up the headlight
Se alguém ligou, minha senhora
If someone called, my lady
Se alguém lhe amou e foi-se embora
If someone loved you and then left
Pneu furou
Tire's flat
Acenda o farol, acenda o farol
Turn on the headlights, turn on the headlights
Se alguém ligou
If someone called
Acenda o farol, acenda o farol
Turn on the headlights, turn on the headlights
Se alguém ligou, minha senhora
If someone called, my lady
Se alguém lhe amou e foi-se embora
If someone loved you and then left
