REI DO CANGAÅO

Auto Bambino

He was born in Pernambuco, lost his parents

When he was still a boy, he suffered a lot

Life full of evil, oh my God

There in the northeastern hinterland, ê ê ê

Your gang was known, made you fear

The places he passed, ê ê ê

Your name was engraved, with fear

For anyone trying to stop it, ê ê ê

Among the most fearless were kings

From the cangaço on the road, then I know

Curisco Antônio Ferreira, ê ê ê

Sabino and Lampião, ê ê ê

But it also had its day, it was gone then

Morrer numa emboscada, traição

To save Maria Bonita, he gave himself up

Apagou-se Lampião, ê ê ê

Lampião climbed the mountain, ê ê ê

Lampião went down the hill, ê ê ê

Só pra ver Maria Bonita, ê ê ê

Singing “Woman lacemaker”, hey

Lampião subiu a serra, ê ê ê

Lampião desceu ladeira, ê ê ê

Segundo a lenda conta, ê ê ê

Lampião was capoeira, ê ê ê

Mas também teve seu dia, foi-se então

Morrer numa emboscada, traição

To save Maria Bonita, he gave himself up
