(These are the names of the members of Lampiao's gang! They were outlaw rebels that would
steal from the rich and give to the poor (like a Brasilian Robin Hood). When they were
captured, their heads were decapitated and displayed in the square of the city of
Recife, Pernambuco.)
Quando degolaram minha cabeé?°
Passei mais de dois segundos
Vendo meu corpo tremendo
E né?¶ sabia o que fazer
Morrer, viver, morrer, viver
Translation:
When they cut off my head
For more than two seconds
I watch my body shake
And I didn't know what to do
To die, to live, to die, to live
