Lampião (Lampião) - Rei do Cangaço

Straight from the Northeast of Brazil
We are wandering vigilantes
Bandits out of necessity
Stealing to help as soon as possible
Stealing from those who have too much
We are cangaceiros
While the men are all running after
Shoot first!

But no, he's unarmed!
Don't forget, we're here for the money
We're here for the money!
Without wasting time, we start our escape
Don't forget, we're not here for killing

An exchange of gunfire, a shot I feel
Maria Bonita took the bullet for me
She's wounded, several horses coming
The escape is a success, the gang managed to flee
How it scared me, don't do that again
It's good money that will return to each poor pocket

Fireplace to rest
And a nightmare comes to me soon
In the middle of the night upon waking
All my friends dead!
My brothers, Maria
Poison takes your life!

The march of the horses, Colonel has company
I need to run and think about what I do
It's your fault, damn traitor!
So don't you dare speak her name
In the cave a tragedy

Executed
My head on the ground
Was I a sacrifice?
Where's Lampião?

[Creature]
Poetry silenced, I thank for the offering
In the middle of the clear night
A horrendous creature!
I'm back on earth, a land that dries
My form is not complete

[Lampião]
I see her rosary
So nothing was a dream?

[Creature]
You're alive because of me

[Lampião]
Who are you, monster?

[Creature]
Feed me and I'll tell you

[Lampião]
In the midst of drought, oath, I will kill the Colonel
Calm down, I'll give you rotten meat on the way

King of the Cangaço!
Stories of the Backlands
And it's in these backlands that I wander
They call me Lampião

I lost my head
Cursed
And before dawn breaks
There will be lead exchanged!

So I keep wandering
Disturbing the monster
My mind doesn't stop for a single second
Stopping on the way
Helping people
Looking for your daughter? I'm looking for a woman

Ambush, do they think they can kill me?
The Colonel, don't tell me
Do you know where he is?

[Creature]
Then I have no choice!

[Lampião]
Shut up, stay there!

[Creature]
Shut up, damn it!

[Lampião]
You can't leave!

When the creature is released, they wonder if this is a demon?
And when I annihilate everyone, they wonder if this is a monster

The rosary around my neck prevents me, after all
But see what happens if I unleash this evil
So run from me, I'm no longer a good guy
Look at my scar, I carry an aberration!

In the midst of shotgun fire
A people who have nothing
Emerges the Hero of the Backlands
To do the right thing in a wrong way

The best tales are told around the campfire
Supernatural monsters on the way, don't forget
I wander my path throughout this backlands
Well, I've lost my head and they want Lampião's head!

King of the Cangaço!
Stories of the Backlands
And it's in these backlands that I wander
They call me Lampião

I lost my head
Cursed
And before dawn breaks
There will be lead exchanged!

King of the Cangaço!
Stories of the Backlands
And it's in these backlands that I wander
They call me Lampião

I lost my head
Cursed
And before dawn breaks
There will be lead exchanged!
