Lampião Falou

I don't know why I arrived
But I know everything I did
I mistreated, I was mistreated
I wasn't good, I wasn't happy
I didn't do everything they say
I'm not what people say

Which one of you is good?
Which one of you is right?
Where is the good man?
Which man is respectable?
From head to toe in life
There's no perfect man

On the 28th of July
I passed to the other side
It was in the year 38
They say I was shot
And they talk in another version
That I was poisoned

Sergipe, Fazenda Angico
My crimes came to an end
The criminal was me
And the saints killed me
A lamp went out
Other lamps remained

The cangaço continues
With tie and jacket
Without wearing a leather hat
Without a rifle in hand
And killing much more
It's full of lampião
And killing much more
There are so many lampiões
And killing much more

In the city and in the backlands
And killing much more
There's an excess of Lampião
