Full lyrics

Deixa de contar vantagem

Conterrâneo companheiro

Que eu também nasci no norte

Não sou faroleiro


É muito feio o sujeito

Contar vantagem

Dizer que tem coragem

E na hora correr

É preferível o sujeito calado

Mas ficando aperreado

E fazer o pau comer

É tão bonito assim

O cabra tão aperreado e faz o pau comer


Ainda me lembro

Da Paraíba do Norte

Tive um pega muito forte

Com um Miguelão

Por isso que eu passei dez anos trancafiados

Vendo o sol nascer quadrado

E não conto vantagem não

É tão bonito assim

Sou um cabra bom danado e não conto vantagem não


Esse criado que ta falando consigo

Nunca teve um inimigo e nem deseja ter

Eu nunca matei cabo, nem soldado e nem sargento

Compadre do Mané Bento que vinha me conhecer

É tão bonito assim

Esse cabra da peste devia me conhecer

Translation

Stop bragging

Fellow countryman, companion

I was also born in the north

I'm not a show-off


It's very ugly for a guy

To brag

To say he has courage

And run away when the time comes

It's preferable for a guy to be quiet

But getting distressed

And make things happen

It's so beautiful like that

The guy so distressed and makes things happen


I still remember

Paraíba do Norte

I had a very strong fight

With a Miguelão

That's why I spent ten years locked up

Watching the square sun rise

And I don't brag

It's so beautiful like that

I'm a damn good guy and I don't brag


This guy who's talking to you

Never had an enemy and doesn't wish to have one

I never killed a corporal, soldier, or sergeant

Buddy of Mané Bento who came to meet me

It's so beautiful like that

This son of a gun should meet me
