Chula In The Yard

Elomar Figueira Melo

Chula No Terreiro

Mas cadê meus cumpanhêro, cadê
Qui cantava aqui mais eu, cadê
Na calçada no terrêro, cadê
Cadê os cumpanhêros meus, cadê
Cairo na lapa do mundo, cadê
Lapa do mundão de Deus, cadê

Mas tinha um qui dexô o qui era seu
Pra i corrê o trêcho no chão de Son Palo
Num durô um ano o cumpanhêro se perdeu
Cabô se atrapaiano com a lua no céu
Num certo dia num fim de labuta
Pelas Ave-Maria chegô o fim da luta
Foi cuando ia atravessano a rua
Parou iscupiu no chão pois se espantô com a lua
Ficô dibaixo das roda dos carro
Purriba dos iscarro oiano prá lua, ai sôdade
Naquela hora na porta do rancho
Ela tamem viu a lua pur trais dos garrancho e no céu
Pertô o caçulo contra o peito seu
O coração deu um pulo os peito istremeceu
Soltô um gemido fundo as vista iscureceu
Valei-me Sinhô Deus meu apois eu vi Remundo
Nas porta do céu, ai sôdade

Mas tinha um qui só pidia qui a vida fôsse
U'a função noite e dia qui a vida fôsse
Regada cum galinha vin queijo e doce
Sonhano a vida assim arriscô mêrmo sem posse
Dexano a vida ruim intão se arritirou-se
Levou-lhe um ridimúim e a festa se acabou-se, ai sôdade

Mas tinha um qui só vivia prá dá risada
Cuano êle aparicia a turma na calçada
Disia evem Fulô , Fulô das alegria
Covêro da tristeza e das dori maguada
Pegava a viola e riscava u'a toada
Ispantava a tristeza ispaiava a zuada, ai
Lovava os cumpanhêro nua buniteza
Qui aos pôoo pru terrêro voltava a tristeza
Esse malung' alegre e de alma manêra
Tamem tinha nos peito a febre perdedêra
Se paxonô pr'u'a moça num dia de fêra
Norano qui a mucama já era cumpanhêra
De um valentão de fama e acabadô de fêra
O cujo cuano sôbe vêi feito u'a fera
Pois tinha fama de nobe e de qualquer manêra
Calô cúa punhalada a ave cantadêra
Covêro da tristeza e das dori maguada
Morreu cuma me dói dúa moda mangada
Cúa lágrima nos ói, e na bôca u'a rizada ai, sôdade

E mais cadê aquele vaquêro Antenoro
Cum seu burro trechêro e seu gibão de côro
Esse era um cantadô dos bem adeferente
Cantano sem viola alegrava a gente
No ano passado na derradêra inchente
O Gavião danado urrava valente ai sôdade
Chegô intão u'a boiada do Norte
O dono e os vaquêro arriscaro a sorte
O risultado dessa travissia
Foi um sucesso triste, Virge-Ave-Maria
O risultado da bramura foi
Qui o ri levô os vaquêro o dono os burro e os boi ai sôdade

Derna dintão Antenoro sumiu
Dos muito qui aqui passa jura qui já viu
Na Carantonha, na serra incantada
Pelas hora medonha vaga u'a boiada
O trem siguino um vaquêro canôro
A tuada e o rompante jura é de Antenoro
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ê boi
Ê ê boi lá ê boi lá ê boi lá

Chula In The Yard

But where are my companions, where
Who used to sing here with me, where
On the sidewalk in the yard, where
Where are my companions, where
Cairo in the lap of the world, where
Lap of God's big world, where

But there was one who left what was his
To run the stretch on the ground of São Paulo
It didn't last a year, the companion got lost
Ended up getting tangled with the moon in the sky
One day, at the end of work
By the Ave Maria, the fight came to an end
It was when he was crossing the street
He stopped, looked down, was amazed by the moon
He stayed under the wheels of the cars
Above the trash, looking at the moon, oh longing
At that moment, at the ranch door
She also saw the moon behind the branches and in the sky
Holding the puppy close to her chest
Her heart skipped a beat, her chest trembled
She let out a deep sigh, her eyes darkened
Help me, my Lord God, for I saw Remundo
At the gates of heaven, oh longing

But there was one who only wished that life would be
A function day and night, that life would be
Watered with chicken, wine, cheese, and sweets
Dreaming of life like this, risking it without possession
Leaving the bad life, then he got angry
He took a little rhythm and the party ended, oh longing

But there was one who only lived to laugh
When he appeared with the group on the sidewalk
He would say come, Fulô, Fulô of joy
Covering the sadness and the wounded pain
He would grab the guitar and play a tune
Scaring away the sadness, listening to the noise, oh
He praised his companions in a beauty
That by the evening returned the sadness to the yard
This cheerful guy, with a kind soul
Also had in his heart the fever of loss
He fell in love with a girl on a wild day
Praying that the girl was already a companion
Of a famous and freshly finished bully
Who, when he found out, came like a beast
Because he had a reputation of nobility and in any way
He silenced the singing bird with a stab
Covering the sadness and the wounded pain
He died as it hurts me, with a missed tune
With a tear in his eye, and a laugh in his mouth, oh longing

And where is that cowboy Antenoro
With his donkey, his leather vest
He was a very different singer
Singing without a guitar cheered people up
Last year, in the last flood
The damn hawk roared bravely, oh longing
Then a herd from the North arrived
The owner and the cowboys took a chance
The result of this crossing
Was a sad success, Virgin Mary
The result of the brawl was
That the river took the cowboys, the owner, the donkeys, and the cattle, oh longing

Since then, Antenoro disappeared
Of the many who pass by here, some swear they've seen
In Carantonha, in the enchanted mountain
During the scary hours, a herd wanders
The train follows, a singing cowboy
The song and the swagger are said to be Antenoro
Ah, ah, ah, ah, oh cow
Oh, oh cow there, oh cow there, oh cow there
