Inquilino de Violeiro
Brenno Reis & Marco Viola
Viola Tenant
A boy with his guitar, arrives from the countryside
With a cowboy hat and farmer's clothes
In a building in São Paulo, he entered the elevator
A girl also entered, like a flower bud
Finding the girl so beautiful, the boy said to her
I want to be your love, oh, oh!!
The girl replied with an impolite gesture
To me, you're just a resigned beggar
You with that guitar are a backward hillbilly
You have nowhere to lay your head and want to be my boyfriend
I only date noble people
You're such a poor boy, I don't date riffraff
The very polite boy then said to the girl
I walk with this guitar to fulfill my destiny
But I'm very meticulous, I only have a building on the corner
To me, you're just a fake socialite
Where you live is not yours, this building here is mine
You're my tenant oh, oh!!
Call me what you want, a hillbilly or a countryman
This hat represents the trophy of the cowboys
I don't let go of this guitar because I'm a good Brazilian
You're late on your rent, I came to collect my money
Fulfill your duty better
Be proud to be
A viola tenant oh, oh!!
