Pagode Na Praça

Making music is my vice, viola is my cachaça
In the beat of pagode, my fingers don't get tangled
When I touch the viola, I make smoke rise
Pagode at the moment is owning the cup
Because people are enjoying it, I'm also putting effort
Sometimes releasing a good pagode in the square
The fate of a singer is only God's plan
To be a good viola player, you can't be sloppy
You need to leave your name where you go
Only singing good songs to please the masses
We don't complain about luck, I take care of our reputation
Wherever people call me, there's good pagode in the square

If you want to sing pagode, show blood, show courage
If it's not to be done well, I ask you not to do it
I teach the beat of pagode even for free
Who sings pagode right, believe me, doesn't fail
My pagode is Brazilian, gives a name to the viola player
Who wants to make money, puts good pagode in the square

You need to have love in the profession you embrace
I have a whim with me, I carry it out of stubbornness
I don't record stolen songs, we don't steal or catch
I'll fight with my colleagues, a clean fight without cheating
My viola never fails, I won flowers and a medal
And the Straw Hat trophy with good pagode in the square
