Sou do Banco

It's that the countryman got hold of the papers
And went to the bank in Juazeiro
He took out money and bought five little cows
And for that he quickly hired a cowboy
The herder quickly mounted a chestnut horse
Opened his chest in a never-ending chant
Poor embarrassed cattle
With the bell ringing like this

I'm from the bank, from the Bank of Brazil
From the Bank of the Northeast, tough guy
In Ceará I'm from Bec
But in Pernambuco I'm from Bandepe
Bandepe, Bandepe, Bandepe, Bandepe

And off he goes scaring the country folk
In every house you only hear a buzz
Famous and beautiful cattle like this
Only Feitosa dos Inhamús owns
If someone asks whose cattle is this
He answers: It's from Mr. Zé Clementino
That's when the cattle stops, the cattle bellows
That the cowboy is lying

I'm from the bank, from the Bank of Brazil
From the Bank of the Northeast, tough guy
In Ceará I'm from Bec
But in Pernambuco I'm from Bandepe
Bandepe, Bandepe, Bandepe, Bandepe
