- As lançadas que nos tiran
os que benden
que os ollos sacar pretenden
todo para lebar fora
A malizia neles mora
qu'este e o trato en que se entenden- the lances they throw at us
the ones selling
they want to gouge our eyes
for taking all away
Malice dwells inside them
this is the deal they understand
- the lances they throw at us
