Ofício, Gaita e Gaiteiro
Marcelinho Nunes
Craft, Harmonica, and Accordionist
Lost red light
In the outskirts of life
Always receives attention
And the pure essence player
Doesn't complain about the winter
Pulling one with buttons
Poor harmonica, said a crazy man
Straightening out some change
Leaning on the counter
The 'buena' night was boiling
With the perfume of the girls
Sweetening the occasion
In a remanched rhythm
The unfolded accordionist
Stands out as best as he can
On the stairs, he pumps the bellows
Asks for the pace and takes a sip
Pumping something extra
Beautiful craft, hard fate
Of a Corrientes harmonica
And a vaneira player
There's no countryman's land
Who doesn't look pleased
To listen to a button accordion
Play another one, it's beautiful
Said a redhead opening up
Charms of a flirtatious woman
The accordionist stretches out
And the girl turns the champagne
Over the accordion's lid
Blessed by the delicate ones
Old finicky harmonica
Is a tool and resource
Endure the taste for nonsense
For the craft is serious
It should have a course
Beautiful craft, hard fate
Of a Corrientes harmonica
And a vaneira player
There's no countryman's land
Who doesn't look pleased
To listen to a button accordion
