Full lyrics

Boa noite minha senhora

Boa noite meu senhor fço versos na viola

Pra mostrar o meu valor

O meu canto é poema, épopeia sim senhor

É romance, é odisséia, repente de cantado


Romanceiro, cancioneio, liberato popular

Vou rimando a realidade, esse nó a desatar

Pra você que não conhece o brasil de seu cabral

Acho graça da sua graça, achar isso natural


No dodo sete brilantes e nem sabe quem eu sou

Sua linguagem não é polo, o olho cedo lhe pegou

E assim findo essa estória com três contos voador

Meto no saco a viola, licença que jã me vou


Romanceiro, cancioneio, liberato popular

Vou rimando a realidade, esse nó a desatar

Pra você que não conhece o brasil de seu cabral

Acho graça da sua graça, achar isso natural


O brasil não conhece o brasil

Translation

Good evening my lady

Good evening my sir, I make verses on the viola

To show my worth

My song is a poem, an epic, yes sir

It's a romance, an odyssey, a sung improvisation


Balladeer, songbook, popular free spirit

I go rhyming reality, untying this knot

For you who don't know the Brazil of Cabral

I find humor in your grace, finding this natural


Possessing seven brilliant things, and doesn't even know who I am

Your language isn't a common ground, the eye quickly caught you

And so I end this story with three fleeting tales

I put the viola in the bag, excuse me, I'm already leaving


Balladeer, songbook, popular free spirit

I go rhyming reality, untying this knot

For you who don't know the Brazil of Cabral

I find humor in your grace, finding this natural


Brazil does not know Brazil
