Full lyrics

O canto de um poeta apaixonado

É igual o canto do curió

De um xexéu na lagoa sobejando

Um ritual toda noite ao por do sol

A paixão de um poeta é tão grande

Que se expande dentro do seu coração

Tanta provas de amor pra sua amada

Ao toque solene da canção


Tem poeta que gosta de viola

Não enrola na metrificação

Tem a força do amor dentro do peito

Usa a mente, o sublime e a razão

Tem poeta que canta embolada

Na calada da noite no sertão

Sou poeta e gosto da sanfona

Madalena é a minha inspiração

Translation

The song of a passionate poet

Is like the song of the curió bird

Of a xexéu bird overflowing in the lagoon

A ritual every night at sunset

The passion of a poet is so great

That it expands within his heart

So many proofs of love for his beloved

To the solemn touch of the song


There are poets who like the viola

They don't beat around the bush in the metrification

They have the strength of love inside their chest

They use the mind, the sublime, and reason

There are poets who sing embolada

In the silence of the night in the backlands

I am a poet and I like the accordion

Madalena is my inspiration
