Sou do Banco

I'm from the Bank

Sou do Banco

It's that the countryman got hold of the papersÉ que o matuto deu de garra dos papéis
And went to the bank in JuazeiroE foi bater no banco de juazeiro
He took out money and bought five little cowsTirou dinheiro e comprou cinco vaquinhas
And for that he quickly hired a cowboyE para tanto contratou logo um vaqueiro
The herder quickly mounted a chestnut horseO tangedor montou logo um alazão
Opened his chest in a never-ending chantAbriu os peitos no aboio que não tem fim
Poor embarrassed cattleCoitada da boiada encabulada
With the bell ringing like thisCom o chocalho tocando assim

I'm from the bank, from the Bank of BrazilEu sou do banco, do banco do Brasil
From the Bank of the Northeast, tough guyDo banco do Nordeste, cabra da peste
In Ceará I'm from BecNo Ceará eu sou do Bec
But in Pernambuco I'm from BandepeMas em Pernambuco sou do Bandepe
Bandepe, Bandepe, Bandepe, BandepeBandepe, Bandepe, Bandepe, Bandepe

And off he goes scaring the country folkE lá vai ele assustando a matutada
In every house you only hear a buzzEm cada casa só se ouve um zum-zum-zum
Famous and beautiful cattle like thisGado famoso e bonito desse tipo
Only Feitosa dos Inhamús ownsSó quem possui é Feitosa dos Inhamús
If someone asks whose cattle is thisSe alguém pergunta de quem é essa boiada
He answers: It's from Mr. Zé ClementinoEle responde: É de seu Zé Clementino
That's when the cattle stops, the cattle bellowsÉ aí que o gado emperra, o gado berra
That the cowboy is lyingQue o vaqueiro ta mentindo

I'm from the bank, from the Bank of BrazilEu sou do banco, do banco do Brasil
From the Bank of the Northeast, tough guyDo banco do Nordeste, cabra da peste
In Ceará I'm from BecNo Ceará eu sou do Bec
But in Pernambuco I'm from BandepeMas em Pernambuco sou do Bandepe
Bandepe, Bandepe, Bandepe, BandepeBandepe, Bandepe, Bandepe, Bandepe
