Ponteio
Era um, era dois, era cem
Era o mundo chegando e ninguém
Que soubesse que eu sou violeiro
Que me desse o amor ou dinheiro
Era um, era dois, era cem
Vieram pra me perguntar
Ô você, onde vai
De onde vem?
Diga logo o que tem
Pra contar
Parado no meio do mundo
Senti chegar meu momento
Olhei pro mundo e nem via
Nem sombra, nem Sol
Nem vento
Quem me dera agora
Eu tivesse a viola
Pra cantar
Pra cantar!
Era um dia, era claro
Quase meio
Era um canto falado
Sem ponteio
Violência, viola
Violeiro
Era morte redor
Mundo inteiro
Era um dia, era claro
Quase meio
Tinha um que jurou
Me quebrar
Mas não lembro de dor
Nem receio
Só sabia das ondas do mar
Jogaram a viola no mundo
Mas fui lá no fundo buscar
Se eu tomo a viola
Ponteio!
Meu canto não posso parar
Não!
Quem me dera agora
Eu tivesse a viola
Pra cantar, pra cantar
Ponteio!
(Todo mundo pontear)
Pontear!
Era um, era dois, era cem
Era um dia, era claro
Quase meio
Encerrar meu cantar
Já convém
Prometendo um novo ponteio
Certo dia que sei
Por inteiro
Eu espero não vá demorar
Esse dia estou certo que vem
Digo logo o que vim
Pra buscar
Correndo no meio do mundo
Não deixo a viola de lado
Vou ver o tempo mudado
E um novo lugar pra cantar
Quem me dera agora
Eu tivesse a viola
Pra cantar
Ponteio!
Lá, láia, láia, láia
Lá, láia, láia, láia
Lá, láia, láia, láia
Quem me dera agora
Eu tivesse a viola
Pra cantar
Ponteio!
Pra cantar
Pontiar!
Quem me dera agora
Eu tivesse a viola
Pra Cantar!
Strumming
It was one, it was two, it was a hundred
The world was coming and no one
Knew that I was a guitar player
To give me love or cash
It was one, it was two, it was a hundred
They came to ask me
Hey you, where you going?
Where you from?
Just say what you got
To share
Standing in the middle of the world
I felt my moment arrive
I looked at the world and saw nothing
No shadow, no sun
No wind
I wish right now
I had my guitar
To sing
To sing!
It was a day, it was bright
Almost noon
It was a spoken song
Without strumming
Violence, guitar
Guitar player
Death all around
The whole world
It was a day, it was bright
Almost noon
There was someone who swore
To break me
But I don’t remember pain
Or fear
I only knew the waves of the sea
They threw the guitar into the world
But I went down deep to find it
If I grab the guitar
Strumming!
I can’t stop my song
No!
I wish right now
I had my guitar
To sing, to sing
Strumming!
(Everyone strum along)
Strum!
It was one, it was two, it was a hundred
It was a day, it was bright
Almost noon
To end my song
It’s time
Promising a new strum
One day I know
Completely
I hope it won’t take long
That day I’m sure will come
I’ll say right away what I came
To find
Running in the middle of the world
I won’t leave the guitar behind
I’ll see the time changed
And a new place to sing
I wish right now
I had my guitar
To sing
Strumming!
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
I wish right now
I had my guitar
To sing
Strumming!
To sing
Strum!
I wish right now
I had my guitar
To sing!
