Sistema Bruto
João Carreiro & Capataz
Rough System
Our country people shook the capital
Viola and guitar are national attractions
The city's population now likes and admires
I see the high society in our country style
Friend, pay attention, talent is innate and not made
It's our rough system, João Carreiro and Capataz
My viola is country, has the ten steel strings
From January to January it rings in my arms
I never had a teacher to do what I do
I've been singing since I was a boy and never had trouble
Friend, pay attention, talent is innate and not made
It's our rough system, João Carreiro and Capataz
My pagode is intense, like the waves of the sea
When one passes, another comes to take its place
My viola is venomous and only spreads joy
Sadness doesn't come close because it's contagious
Friend, pay attention, talent is innate and not made
It's our rough system, João Carreiro and Capataz
In the castle I'm a king, in the sea I'm a shark
In truco I'm a zape and in the jungle I'm a lion
On land I'm a truck and in the air I'm a plane
In the arms of this viola, I'm a champion violeiro
Friend, pay attention, talent is innate and not made
It's our rough system, João Carreiro and Capataz
