Full lyrics

Foi as quatro horas da manhã

Meu cachorro de guarda latiu

Levantei pra ver o que era

E vesti meu casaco de frio

Então vi que chegou um mensageiro

Amontado num burro turziu

Apiou e me disse bom dia

E o bolso da baldrana ele abriu

Uma carta o rapaz me entregou

E de novo amontou

E na estrada sumiu


Dei a carta pro meu irmão ler

Ele leu e me olhando sorriu

É convite pra nós ir na festa

Vai haver um grande desafio

O meu pai já correu no vizinho

Foi chamar o vovô e o titio

Nós cheguemo a pular de contente

Lá em casa ninguém mais dormiu

Pra quebrar aqueles campeonato

Nem com sindicato

Ninguém conseguiu


Violeiros que mandam convite

Moram lá do outro lado do rio

Eles pensam que nós não vai lá

Mas nós somos caboclo de brio

A peteca aqui do nosso lado

Por enquanto no chão não caiu

Quando nós cheguemo no catimba

Os mais fraco na hora sumiu

Só cantemos moda de campeão

E os tal que era bão

Nem sequer reagiu


Perguntei para o dono da festa

Onde foi que o senhor conseguiu

Esses tal violeiro famoso

Que as moda de nós engoliu

O festeiro ficou pensativo

E mordeu no cigarro e cuspiu

Vocês são dois caboclo batuta

Quem falou pode crer não mentiu

Teve algum que cantar experimentou

Mas o peito faiou

E a voz não saiu


As violas nós faz de encomenda

Nosso peito é tratado e sadio

Já cantemo três noite seguida

E as moda nós não repetiu

Quem repete é relógio de igreja

E o triste cantar do tiziu

E agora com esta vitória

Ainda mais nossa fama subiu

E vocês não devem discutir

Se viemos aqui

Foi vocês quem pediu

Translation

It was four in the morning

My guard dog barked

I got up to see what it was

And put on my cold weather coat

Then I saw a messenger arrive

Riding on a donkey that brayed

He dismounted and said good morning to me

And opened the pocket of his saddlebag

The boy handed me a letter

And mounted again

And disappeared down 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 already ran to the neighbor's

To call grandpa and uncle

We even jumped for joy

No one slept at home anymore

To break those championships

Not even with a union

No one managed to


The guitar players who send the invitation

Live 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

Hasn't fallen to the ground yet

When we arrived at the showdown

The weakest ones disappeared right away

We only sing champion songs

And those who were supposedly good

Didn't even react


I asked the owner of the party

Where did you get

Those famous guitar players

Who swallowed our songs

The party host became thoughtful

And bit his cigarette and spat

You are two clever country guys

Whoever said that, believe me, didn't lie

Some tried to sing

But their chest failed

And the voice didn't come out


We have our guitars custom-made

Our chest is treated and healthy

We've already sung three nights in a row

And we haven't repeated the songs

The one who repeats is the church clock

And the sad singing of the becard

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
