Joaquim Valente

I'm gonna tell you a fact that happened and didn't become a book at the time
And the story of a man who had the reputation of being as brave as
Lampião

He was so serious, never smiled, that was the reason he was so feared
But you'll see, it will become clear the cause and why he was dangerous

Daughters under his care
He would be to blame if it weren't like this
Wherever he went, he had a hawk ready to fight
Who wouldn't go crazy seeing their daughter in the hands of a hillbilly one day suffer
Joaquinzao Valente was his name because he didn't go easy on the lazy
Joaquinzão Valente then converted, now he was a believer and served God

But when a countryman approached one of his daughters to bother her
He would come right away, giving his sermon: I'm converted, but not my knife
From Joaquim Valente to Joaquim the believer, now happy to serve Christ

His beloved daughters were handed over to God
Now grown, mission accomplished
His care was now with the Bible, woe to those who dared to distort it
With fiery words from a brave believer, many heard and were converted
