Peito Sadio

It was four in the morning, my guard dog barked
I got up to see what it was, and put on my cold coat
Then I saw a messenger arrive, mounted on a tired donkey
He greeted me and said good morning! And opened the pocket of his saddlebag

He handed me a letter and mounted again, disappearing on the road
I gave the letter to my brother to read, he read it and smiled at me
It's an invitation for us to go to the party, there will be a great challenge
My father ran to the neighbor, to call grandpa and uncle
We were jumping with joy, nobody at home slept anymore
To break those championships, not even the union could succeed

The troubadour who sent the invitation, lives on the other side of the river
They think we won't go there, but we are proud country folk
The shuttlecock on our side, for now, has not fallen to the ground
When we arrived at the dance, the weakest ones disappeared instantly
We only sang champion songs and those who were good didn't even react

I asked the party host, where did you find
These famous troubadours, who swallowed our songs
The host got serious, bit his cigarette and spat
You are two skilled country folks, whoever said it, believe me, didn't lie
Some tried to sing but their chest was weak and their voice didn't come out

We make our guitars to order, our chest is treated and healthy
We sang for three nights in a row and didn't repeat the songs
Who repeats is a church clock and the sad singing of the tiziu bird
And now with this victory, our fame has risen even more
And you shouldn't argue, if we came here, it was you who asked
