Eu nasci no mato, e sou matuto do bom
I was born in the woods, and I'm a good countryman
sempre canto no tom
I always sing in tune
nunca desfinei
I never went astray
e de uma sanfona, nunca me separei
And from an accordion, I never separated
sou caipora do mato

sou madeira de rei
I am wood from a king
me criei no cangaço, mas eu nunca matei
I grew up in the cangaço, but I never killed
mas eu nunca matei um
But I never killed anyone
matar um nunca matei
To kill someone, I never did
mas eu nunca matei um, porque nunca desejei
But I never killed anyone because I never desired
mas eu sou cruel, sou parada dura
But I am cruel, I am a tough one
ninguém segura quando eu tomo uma bicada
No one holds me when I take a sip
daquela danada
From that darn one
daquela que a maria me dá todo dia
From the one Maria gives me every day
que provoca uma agonia
That causes agony
pelos cantos da lavada(?)

matar um nunca matei

mas eu nunca matei um, porque nunca desejei
