Wooden Miner

Mineiro-Pau

Oh wooden miner, oh wooden minerÓ mineiro-pau, ó mineiro-pau
The wooden miner comes knockingO mineiro-pau vem batendo
The wooden minerO mineiro-pau

Like a treacherous womanQue nem mulher traiçoeira
Look at the wooden stickOlha o pau mineiro
It approached very slowlySe achegou bem devagar
Look at the wooden stickOlha o pau mineiro
It set up to strikeSe armou pra dar o bote
Look at the wooden stickOlha o pau mineiro
Suddenly to attack meDe repente ma atacar
Look at the wooden stickOlha o pau mineiro

Oh wooden miner, oh wooden miner...Ó mineiro-pau, ó mineiro-pau...

Look at her wheelOlha a rodilha dela
Look at the wooden stickOlha o ao pau mineiro
Under the Ingá treeDebaixo do pé de Ingá
Look at the wooden stickOlha o pau mineiro

Oh wooden miner, oh wooden minerÓ mineiro-pau, ó mineiro-pau
The wooden miner comes beating his clubO mineiro-pau vem batendo seu porrete
The wooden minerO mineiro-pau

My club is made of braúna woodMeu cacete é de braúna
Look at the wooden stickOlha o pau mineiro
Stored in the backyardGuardado lá no quintal
Look at the wooden stickOlha o pau mineiro
To grab my clubPra pegar o meu porrete
Look at the wooden stickOlha o pau mineiro
I crossed the bushAtravessei o matagal
Look at the wooden stickOlha o pau mineiro

In the middle of the bushNo meio do matagal
That's where we got tangledFoi que a gente se enroscou
And then it was at the courthouseE depois foi lá no fórum
That we got tied upQue a gente se amarrou
I wasn't preparedEu não tava preparado
For the trap she setPro bote que ela armou
She took everything I hadCarregou tudo que eu tinha
When we partedQuando a gente separou
