Chamamecero
Como se a escuridão trouxesse luz
Como se o coração fosse explodir
Mastiguei a fala, negaceei a mágoa
Só pra ver a lágrima feliz
Quis amansar a dor, me vi pela vida
Quis conhecer o amor fiz um chamamé
Cheio de carinho, louco de faceiro
Mas que chamamecero me senti
Coisa de bom menino abraçando o pai
Coisa de mãe saudosa mimando o filho
Fui me emocionando a mando do gaiteiro
Mas que chamamecero, repeti
(A mão vem me dando o soco
Eu prendo-lhe um Sapucai
O pé pisoteia a marca
E a alma arrepia em pêlo
E quase arrebenta o fole
E torce, pra vida melhorar)
Chamamecero
As if darkness brought light
As if the heart were to explode
I chewed my words, denied the sorrow
Just to see the tear of joy
I wanted to calm the pain, I saw myself through life
I wanted to know love, I made a chamamé
Full of affection, crazy with joy
But as a chamamecero I felt
Like a good boy hugging his father
Like a nostalgic mother pampering her child
I was getting emotional at the command of the accordion player
But what a chamamecero, I repeated
(The hand comes giving me a punch
I respond with a Sapucai
The foot tramples the beat
And the soul shivers
And almost bursts the bellows
And hopes for life to get better)
