shame - lampião lyrics
[intro]
acorda, maría bonita
levanta, vai fazer café
o dia já vem raiando
e a polícia já tá de pé
[verse 1]
well, lemme tell you a little story
about a big, bad motherf+cker called lampião
the governor of the backlands
sailor of the black sands
with a fillet knife and a strong hand
he carved out a life most won’t ever understand
and if you wanna go out looking for him
you can still hear his name
whispered through the north eastern terrains of brazil
[refrain]
ô, lampião, where are you now?
ô, lampião, where are you now?
[verse 2]
and military operations tried to conquer his vocation
were thе good doing bad or the bad doing good?
i’m not here to say
but thеre was a bullet in it for both sides
and late at night by candle light, he’d write stories
as he lay beside his love, maria bonita
silva turned to gold with a poor birth and a rich soul
that motherf+cker’s called lampião
[refrain]
ô, lampião, where are you now?
ô, lampião, where are you now?
acorda, maría bonita
levanta, vai fazer café
o dia já vem raiando
e a polícia já tá de pé
[verse 3]
well, they caught him in the end
executed him, his love and his cangaçeiros
then let their heads hang for public display in the streets of salvador
but long will his name remain in the stories of folklore
and in that place, where the water runs white
some say his gun shots are still lighting up the night
[chorus]
ô, lampião, where are you now?
ô, lampião, where are you now?
acorda, maría bonita
levanta, vai fazer café
o dia já vem raiando
e a polícia já tá de pé
