Na Emenda
Luiz Gonzaga
In the Amendment
In the amendment
Tie the rope right
In the amendment
So the rope won't break
In the amendment
But tie a knot of respect
I want the people satisfied
Playing to mend
In the amendment
There's a girl who breaks vows
In the amendment
Then can't mend
In the amendment
But the viola player
Fixes the rhyme on the spot
And doesn't let the rhyme break
In the amendment
I'm going to make a contraption
In the amendment
With Caruá rope
In the amendment
It's a beautiful work
Woman twisting the cambito
Making the rope tight
In the amendment
The old folks were playing
In the amendment
And then they started to fight
In the amendment
Sadness created pity
Grandpa fooled grandma
When it was time to mend
