Na Subida do Morro
Moreira da Silva
On the Hill Climb
On the hill climb they told me
That you hit my woman
That's not right
Hitting a woman
Who's not yours
Left the woman almost naked
In the middle of the street
The woman almost turned into a corpse
I didn't like that subject
Today I come resolved
I'll send you to the city
Standing up
I'll turn you into a dead man
You yourself know
That I used to be a wicked scoundrel
I'm just reformed now
Full of cunning
I gave trouble to the police
Like a dog
I even hit the hill's owner
But I never abused
A woman
Who belonged to a friend
Now I'm angry with you
Today I come animated
To leave you all cut up
I'll give you a punishment
I'll stick the steel in your abdomen
And remove your navel
Then I stuck the steel in, as he was falling he said,
'Morengueira, you hurt me',
I then told him:
'Of course, you disrespected me, messed with my woman'.
You know that in a scoundrel's house, a scoundrel doesn't ask for a job. How do you come with flirting, are you armed? I want to see the fat because lard is expensive!
Then I put my hand in the duana, in the knife, because I'm from Pernambuco, a small but decent town, I grabbed Vargolino by the abdomen, went down through the duodenum, gallbladder, and made a tubing; he fell, boom!, all bloody.
And the ladies, as always, nervous:
'My God, this man is dying, Sir! Poor thing, look, he's bleeding out'
'Oh, my lady, give him camphorated oil, penicillin, streptomycin crebiosa, engrazida and even Salk vaccine'
But the man was already cold. Now, a true scoundrel doesn't rat out the other, waits to get even.
Then the scoundrel says:
Don't rush
This time the man
Won't die
If he comes back, I'll make it real
You bury that blood
It's not war, it's a joke
I'll be slipping away in the run
Justice is coming
And you say
That I'm getting ready
While I'm slipping away
You go to the district
Apologizing to Delerusca
It was a passionate scoundrel
Who ended up committing suicide.
