Bandeira Branca

I'll tell you what I've never seen in the backlands and in the city
I have never seen a war without shooting or a jail without bars
I have never seen a prisoner who does not want freedom
I've never seen a loving mother who didn't miss her son

I've never seen a small man who wasn't chubby
I've never seen a doctor make someone who is mute speak
I've never seen a cowboy carry small money
I've never seen a proper man wear velvet pants

I've never seen a carioca who wasn't a good samba dancer
I've never seen a person from Pernambuco who wasn't a good dancer
I've never seen a Paraibano who wasn't a repentista
I have never seen a deputy beaten by a journalist

I've never seen a Paulista in life cursing himself
I have never seen a Paranaense who is not getting rich
I've never seen a Bahian lose with a machete
I've never seen a Mineiro run away from the fight

I've never seen a Catarinense learning after he was old
I have never seen a person from Mato Grosso walk around trembling with fear
I've never seen a gaucho need training to lasso
I have never seen a Goiano drink poison out of passion

I've never seen a farmer ride a lame horse
To close the mother-in-law's mouth, I didn't see a key, I didn't see a lock
To finish my pagode I'm going to talk about it
I want to see my enemies raise the white flag
