Santinho do Pau-Oco

With me it's a machete in the stump and a ball in the mouth
I'm coming from the border, womanizer and calaveira
I'm the little saint of the hollow wood

When I was a sacristan boy, I already stole wine and bread
And because of the beer they excommunicated me from the church
With holy water and a machete
I'm from the coast of Uruguay where the sapucay echoes
Still a kid in espadrilles, I stole the silver knife
And a china from my father

With me it's a machete in the stump and a ball in the mouth
I'm coming from the border, womanizer and calaveira
I'm the little saint of the hollow wood

I grew up doing changa, I'm a complete blockhead
And when the guard came to take away the flour
I was snitching on Tianga
Being a womanizer is my vice because I'm Aparício's cousin
I only fight with punches and I only act crazy
To stay at the hospice

With me it's a machete in the stump and a ball in the mouth
I'm coming from the border, womanizer and calaveira
I'm the little saint of the hollow wood
