Pai Joao by Seu Jorge

Can anyone who speaks Portuguese translate the song "Pai Joao" by Seu Jorge into English? Looks like the song was originally written and performed by Tribo Massahi in the 1970s. You can hear the song here: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/s...ryId=129754791

Here lyrics

De roupinha velha viveu Pai João
De chapéu de palha e de pé no chão

O pobre velho vivia a sofrer
Não tinha onde dormir, não tinha o que comer
Os homens maus não tinham compaixão
De ver o sofrimento do velho Pai João

Pai João, Pai joão

Viveu de calça velha,
De chapeu de palha e de pé no chão

Here translation.

Dressed in worn out clothes, he carried out his whole life,
Wearing a straw hat, always barefoot.

The poor old man had a life of constant suffering
He had no place to sleep, was always with nothing to eat
The bad guys had no compassion for him,
Seeing his life of misery

Pai João, Pai joão

He lived his whole life, dressed in worn out pants,
Wearing a straw hat, always barefoot.
