Cantiga de Cangaceiro
Mariene de Castro
Bandit's Song
No man was born to be stepped on
It's Lampi, It's Lampi, It's Lampi, It's Lamparina It's Lampião My name is Virgulino, nickname, Lampião Bird warned, it flashed, it's lampi
Bird warned, it flashed, it's lampi
Bird warned, it flashed, it's lampi
Blessed be the Child God on the road
Three times save the blessed chalice and the consecrated host
Also save the holy house
Where God made his dwelling
And the rosary of Mary My Immaculate mother
Bird warned, it flashed, it's lampi
Bird warned, it flashed, it's lampi
If the ground doesn't quench the thirst
The Thirst doesn't kill the ground
It wounds, cuts, tears and pierces
But killing doesn't kill
Death animal, it's a volante
That kills without precision
With the hand that shakes the saint, it rocks the devil's net
Bird warned, it flashed, it's Lampião
Bird warned, it flashed, it's Lampião
My heart is the shallows of Catarina
Foot of longing in the harsh
Pain that doesn't break inclines
but in passion my heart is Cajuína
Bird warned, it flashed, it's Lampião
Bird warned, it flashed, it's Lampião
Maria Bonita lights up the braided sandal
With rifle bullet
Yellow Papo is the saying that runs in the hammer
The seasoned guitar, adorned with ribbon and powder
No longer plays in angico, went to play in Mossoró
My bag of bullets remained
Which I call curió
