Compadre Mané BentoCumpade Mané Bento
Only you were missingSó fartava tu
I've never seen my compadreNunca vi meu cumpade
Dancing so wellForgansa tão boa
So full of toys,tão cheia de brinquedo,
Of animationde animação
Drinking at the functionBebendo na função
We danced without stoppingNós dansemo sem pará
In a gallop to killNum galope de matá
But until dawnMas arta madrugada
Because of a damn womanPro mode uma danada
Who came from TacaratúQui vei de Tacaratú
We killed two soldiersMatemo dois sordado
Four privates and a sergeantQuato cabo e um sargento
Compadre Mané BentoCumpade Mané Bento
Only you were missingSó fartava tú
My brother JisuinoMeu irmão Jisuino
Got stuck with a black womanGrudô numa nega
Cuddled by a braveChamego dum sujeito
And belligerent guyvalente e brigão
I saw that the confusionEu vi qui a confusão
Wouldn't take long to startNão tardava cumeçá
As the guy with a knifePois o cabra de punhá
With a killer faceCum cara de assassino
Went after JisuinoPartiu prá Jisuino
The commotion was settava feito o sururú
We killed two soldiersMatemo dois sordado
Four privates and a sergeantQuato cabo e um sargento
Compadre Mané BentoCumpade Mané Bento
Only you were missingSó fartava tú
For the Doctor DelegatePro Dotô Delegado
Who arrived grumpyQue veio trombudo
I said that in thatEu diche que naquela
Big confusiongrande confusão
There were only a few scratchesSó hove uns arranhão
But the guy who diedMas o cabra morredô
In that hot weatherNesse tempo de calô
Has tough meatTem a carne reimosa
The old man mocked the talkO véi zombô da prosa
I fled from CaruarúFugi do Caruarú
We killed two soldiersMatemo dois sordado
Four privates and a sergeantQuato cabo e um sargento

Only you were missingSó fartava tú
