Bajaba la Tiradentes en mi carro rumbo al mar
I was driving down Tiradentes in my car heading to the sea
De pronto un faro intermitente me hizo señas de parar
Suddenly a flashing beacon signaled me to stop
Mi licencia de conducir
My driver's license
Me pidió con ojo febril
It was requested with feverish eyes
Qué se le va a hacer
What can you do?
Tomó en sus manos mil papeles, burocracia elemental
He took in his hands a thousand papers, basic bureaucracy
Total, que para nada sirve mi registro electoral
In short, my electoral registration is useless
Su licencia de conducir; me dijo
His driver's license; he told me
Ha vencido en el mes de abril
Expired in the month of April
Acompáñeme, civil
Come with me, civilian
Al destacamento, uoh
To the barracks, uoh
O resuelva desde aquí
Or settle it from here
Cómpreme el silencio
Buy me the silence
Y olvídese de mí
And forget about me
Su licencia de conducir; me dijo
Your driver's license; she said to me
Ha vencido en el mes de abril
You have triumphed in the month of April
Acompáñeme, civil
Accompany me, civilian
Al destacamento, uoh
To the barracks, uoh
O resuelva desde aquí
Or settle it from here
Cómpreme el silencio
Buy me the silence
Y olvídese de mí
And forget about me
Su licencia de conducir
Your driver's license
Ha vencido en el mes de abril
Expired in the month of April
Acompáñeme, civil
Accompany me, civilian
Al destacamento, uoh
To the station, uoh
O resuelva desde aquí
Or resolve it from here
Cómpreme el silencio
Buy me the silence
Y olvídese de mí
And forget about me
Acompáñeme, civil
Accompany me, civilian
Al destacamento, uoh
To the station, uoh
O resuelva desde aquí
Or resolve from here
Cómpreme el silencio
Buy me the silence
Y olvídese de mí
And forget about me
Acompáñeme, civil (uoh-oh-oh)
Accompany me, civil (uoh-oh-oh)
Acompáñeme, civil (uoh-oh-oh)
Accompany me, civil (uoh-oh-oh)
Acompáñeme, civil (uoh-oh-oh)
Accompany me, civil (uoh-oh-oh)
Acompáñeme, civil (uoh-oh)
Accompany me, civil (uoh-oh)
