Full lyrics

No interior das Alagoas

Num lugar pra lá de quente

Pro lugar ficar pior

Nasceu Chico Valente


Desde menino sempre foi danado

Deixava o povoado sempre em confusão

Na escola não foi, nem passou por perto

Dizia que o mundo não estava certo

Falar bonito pra viver na roça

Morar só em palhoça e dormir no chão

Também quem é filho de Anacleto

Já assina o nome, não morre analfabeto

Já assina o nome, não morre analfabeto


No interior das Alagoas

Num lugar pra lá de quente

Pro lugar ficar pior

Cresceu Chico Valente

Cresceu Chico Valente


No pau de fogo se formou

Foi doutor em Valentina

Meio mundo enfrentou

Ninguém lhe desmentia

Por certo dia viu em seu caminho

A flor mais perfumada lá da região

Falou de amores, seguiu sorrindo

Os passos aflitos de Conceição

Moça bonita, joia prometida

Para enfeitar a vida de um seu doutor

E assim enfrentou pela vez primeira

Outro valente que lutou pelo seu amor


No interior das Alagoas

Num lugar pra lá de quente

Num lugar pra lá de quente

Pro lugar ficar melhor

Morreu Chico Valente


Lá vem uma rede!

Morreu de véio meu fi?

Nhôr não! Morreu matado

Quem era?

Chico Valente

É sempre assim! Vamo rezar repouso eterno!

Translation

In the interior of Alagoas

In a place beyond hot

For the place to get worse

Chico Valente was born


Since he was a boy he was always mischievous

He always left the village in confusion

He didn't go to school, nor did he pass by it

He said the world wasn't right

To speak beautifully to live in the countryside

To live only in a shack and sleep on the ground

Also, whoever is Anacleto's son

Already signs his name, doesn't die illiterate

Already signs his name, doesn't die illiterate


In the interior of Alagoas

In a place beyond hot

For the place to get worse

Chico Valente grew up

Chico Valente grew up


He was formed in the fire stick

He was a doctor in Valentina

He faced half the world

No one contradicted him

One certain day he saw on his path

The most fragrant flower of the region

He spoke of love, followed smiling

The anxious steps of Conceição

Beautiful girl, promised jewel

To adorn the life of a doctor of hers

And so he faced for the first time

Another brave man who fought for his love


In the interior of Alagoas

In a place beyond hot

In a place beyond hot

For the place to get better

Chico Valente died


Here comes a net!

Did he die of old age, my son?

No sir! He died killed

Who was it?

Chico Valente

It's always like this! Let's pray for eternal rest!
