Lyrics

Na madrugada e eu na beira da estrada
A lua cheia e minguada e de repente
Apareceu um cavaleiro de bota e chapéu de couro
Me lembrando o velho mouro
E lá fiquemos ele e mais eu
Cruzou os pés, apiou do seu cavalo
Deixou a rédia num talo de uma roseira sem flor
Diz que seguia pelo mundo solitário e
Quebrava todo galho apartando a dor
Quem não ouviu falar
Quem não quis conhecer
Aquele cavaleiro que vive pelas fronteiras
Divulgando a reza brava do
Capim de ribanceira
Enquanto o bule de café bulia
A brasa da fogueira refletia o seu olhar
Eu pude ver que ele sabia coisa até do outro mundo e
Essa noite eu fui aluno do seu estranho poder
Com sete pontas de uma rama trepadeira e uma
Arruda e a piteira
O meu corpo ele tocou
Naquele instante me bateu uma zonzeira e
Duma tosse cuspideira o velhinho me livrou
E quem não ouviu falar
Quem não quis conhecer
Aquele cavaleiro que vive pela fronteira
Divulgando a reza brava do
Capim de ribanceira

Lyrics translation

At dawn and me on the side of the road
The full and waning moon and suddenly
Appeared a knight in boot and leather hat
Remembering the old Moorish
And there let's stay him and more me
Crossed his feet, took pity on his horse
Left the rein on a stalk of a flowerless rose
He says he was following the lonely world and
Broke every branch pulling away the pain
Who has not heard of
Who did not want to meet
That Knight who lives by the borders
Spreading the reza brava do
Ribanceira grass
While the coffee pot bulia
The embers of the campfire reflected his gaze
I could see that he knew something even from the other world and
That night I was a student of your strange power
With seven ends of a climbing branch and a
Arruda and piteira
My body he touched
That instant hit me a hoot and
From a spit cough the old man delivered me
And who has not heard of
Who did not want to meet
That Knight who lives by the border
Spreading the reza brava do
Ribanceira grass
