    I've recently got into the infamous 1960's psychedelic/tropicalia band known as Os Mutantes. My favourite song by them so far is from their self-titled debut, Senhor F. I've learned how to play it on guitar, but I couldn't even begin to try and sing it in it's original language, I was just wondering if there are any Brazilian people who could translate the lyrics into English. I would love to record an English version of the song.

    Here are the lyrics.

    O Senhor "F"
    Vive a querer
    Ser Senhor "X"
    Mas tem medo de nunca voltar
    A ser o Senhor "F" outra vez

    O Senhor "X"
    É o herói
    Que na TV
    Nunca perde o seu chapéu
    E faz o Senhor "F" sonhar

    Sonhar em ter
    Pros outros ver
    Olhos azuis
    Ter um carro igual ao de "X"
    E conquistar a mulher do patrão

    Dê um chute no patrão
    Dê um chute no patrão
    Dê um chute no patrão

    Você também
    Quer ser alguém
    - abandonar
    Mas tem medo de esquecer
    O lenço e o documento outra vez

    Dê um chute no patrão
    Dê um chute no patrão
    Dê um chute no patrão
