Chula No Terreiro

But where are my companions, where
Who used to sing here with me, where
On the sidewalk in the yard, where
Where are my companions, where
Cairo in the lap of the world, where
Lap of God's big world, where

But there was one who left what was his
To run the stretch on the ground of São Paulo
It didn't last a year, the companion got lost
Ended up getting tangled with the moon in the sky
One day, at the end of work
By the Ave Maria, the fight came to an end
It was when he was crossing the street
He stopped, looked down, was amazed by the moon
He stayed under the wheels of the cars
Above the trash, looking at the moon, oh longing
At that moment, at the ranch door
She also saw the moon behind the branches and in the sky
Holding the puppy close to her chest
Her heart skipped a beat, her chest trembled
She let out a deep sigh, her eyes darkened
Help me, my Lord God, for I saw Remundo
At the gates of heaven, oh longing

But there was one who only wished that life would be
A function day and night, that life would be
Watered with chicken, wine, cheese, and sweets
Dreaming of life like this, risking it without possession
Leaving the bad life, then he got angry
He took a little rhythm and the party ended, oh longing

But there was one who only lived to laugh
When he appeared with the group on the sidewalk
He would say come, Fulô, Fulô of joy
Covering the sadness and the wounded pain
He would grab the guitar and play a tune
Scaring away the sadness, listening to the noise, oh
He praised his companions in a beauty
That by the evening returned the sadness to the yard
This cheerful guy, with a kind soul
Also had in his heart the fever of loss
He fell in love with a girl on a wild day
Praying that the girl was already a companion
Of a famous and freshly finished bully
Who, when he found out, came like a beast
Because he had a reputation of nobility and in any way
He silenced the singing bird with a stab
Covering the sadness and the wounded pain
He died as it hurts me, with a missed tune
With a tear in his eye, and a laugh in his mouth, oh longing

And where is that cowboy Antenoro
With his donkey, his leather vest
He was a very different singer
Singing without a guitar cheered people up
Last year, in the last flood
The damn hawk roared bravely, oh longing
Then a herd from the North arrived
The owner and the cowboys took a chance
The result of this crossing
Was a sad success, Virgin Mary
The result of the brawl was
That the river took the cowboys, the owner, the donkeys, and the cattle, oh longing

Since then, Antenoro disappeared
Of the many who pass by here, some swear they've seen
In Carantonha, in the enchanted mountain
During the scary hours, a herd wanders
The train follows, a singing cowboy
The song and the swagger are said to be Antenoro
Ah, ah, ah, ah, oh cow
Oh, oh cow there, oh cow there, oh cow there
