Remediado

I'm not single nor married
I'm not rich, I'm remedied
I don't have trust, I'm suspicious
I'm a poorly dressed countryman
Who walks with me takes the wrong path.

I'm not a fighter, nor am I good
I'm not short, nor am I tall
I'm not black, nor am I white
I'm a somewhat tanned countryman
I'm not very ugly, nor handsome

I'm not bald, nor hairy
I'm not active, nor foolish
I'm not silly, nor nosy
I read very well but didn't study
In the arm of the guitar, I'm confident.

I was born in the world behind the curtain
I have my relatives but they don't dominate me
I live singing to fulfill my fate
With my guitar, I follow the routine
Only girls chase me.

The songs I sing are all by ear
I sing with the guitar, I'm not conceited
I have many friendships, everyone is my friend
I'm a disillusioned countryman
Throughout Brazil, I'm known.
