Mineiro-Pau

Oh wooden miner, oh wooden miner
The wooden miner comes knocking
The wooden miner

Like a treacherous woman
Look at the wooden stick
It approached very slowly
Look at the wooden stick
It set up to strike
Look at the wooden stick
Suddenly to attack me
Look at the wooden stick

Oh wooden miner, oh wooden miner...

Look at her wheel
Look at the wooden stick
Under the Ingá tree
Look at the wooden stick

Oh wooden miner, oh wooden miner
The wooden miner comes beating his club
The wooden miner

My club is made of braúna wood
Look at the wooden stick
Stored in the backyard
Look at the wooden stick
To grab my club
Look at the wooden stick
I crossed the bush
Look at the wooden stick

In the middle of the bush
That's where we got tangled
And then it was at the courthouse
That we got tied up
I wasn't prepared
For the trap she set
She took everything I had
When we parted
