Eu sou mesmo forrozeiro
Edigar Mão Branca
I'm really a forrozeiro
Because you see me in a suit and tie
In the Brazilian congress tribune
Know that I am a country man
Proud to have been born a cowboy
Do not change the way you address me
I give you permission
You can call me a companion
Or maybe a friend and comrade
Your Excellency means nothing
I am really a forrozeiro
Or maybe a friend and comrade
Your Excellency means nothing
I am really a forrozeiro
You don't need to call me sir
I am just a citizen
Always representing the backlands
In Brasília, I am just a deputy
Bahia is my state and today I was honored
To work in the Brazilian parliament
I just don't want to be alone on this journey
Your Excellency means nothing
I am really a forrozeiro
I just don't want to be alone on this journey
Your Excellency means nothing
I am really a forrozeiro
On the tribune or on stages around
I present myself with respect and awareness
But if I lack competence
My help is to appeal to the divine
Who has given me my destiny since I was a child
The school in the countryside was the yard
The pen in school was the hoe
Your Excellency means nothing
I am really a forrozeiro
The pen in school was the hoe
Your Excellency means nothing
I am really a forrozeiro
