Mano a Mano

Chico Buarque

Mano a Mano

Meu para-choque com seu para-choque
Era um toque
Era um pó que era um só
Eu e meu irmão
Era porreta
Carreta parelha a carreta
Dançando na reta
Meu irmão
Na beira de estrada valeu
O que era dele era meu
Eu era ele
Ele era eu

Ela era Estrela
Era Flor do Sertão
Era Pérola D'Oeste
Era Consolação
Era amor na boléia
Eram cem caminhões
Mas ela era Nova Viçosa, Matriz
Era Diamantina
Era Imperatriz
Era só uma menina
De Três Corações

E então
Atravessando a garganta
Jamanta fechando jamanta
Na curva crucial
Era uma barra, era engano
Na certa, era cano
Na mão, mano a mano
Pau a pau
Na beira de estrada se deu
Se o que era dele era meu
Ou era ele ou era eu

Ela era Estrela
Era Flor do Sertão
Era Pérola D'Oeste
Era Consolação
Era amor na boléia
Eram cem caminhões
Mas ela era Nova Viçosa, Matriz
Era Diamantina
Era Imperatriz
Era só uma menina
De Três Corações

E então
Então lavei as mãos
Do sangue do
Meu sangue do
Meu sangue irmão
Chão

Mano a Mano

My bumper with your bumper
It was a touch
It was a powder that was one
I and my brother
It was cool
Trailer paired with trailer
Dancing on the line
My brother
On the side of the road, thanks
What was his was mine
I was him
He was me

She was a star
Flower of the Sertão Era
Pearl of the West Era
It was Consolation
It was love in the car
There were a hundred trucks
But she was Nova Viçosa, Matrix
Diamond Era
Era Empress
It was just a girl
Three Hearts

And then
Crossing the throat
Manta closing manta
At the crucial curve
It was a slash, it was a mistake
In fact, it was pipe
In hand, hand to hand
Stick to stick
On the side of the road it happened
If what was his was mine
It was either him or me

She was a star
Flower of the Sertão Era
Pearl of the West Era
It was Consolation
It was love in the car
There were a hundred trucks
But she was Nova Viçosa, Matrix
Diamond Era
Era Empress
It was just a girl
Three Hearts

And then
So I washed my hands
From the blood of
My blood
My blood brother
Floor
