Lyrics
Era um, era dois, era cem
Era o mundo chegando e ninguém
Que soubesse que eu sou violeiro
Que me desse o amor ou dinheiro…
Era um, era dois, era cem
Vieram prá me perguntar:
«Ô voce, de onde vai
De onde vem?
Diga logo o que tem
Prá contar»…
Parado no meio do mundo
Senti chegar meu momento
Olhei pro mundo e nem via
Nem sombra, nem sol
Nem vento…
Quem me dera agora
Eu tivesse a viola
Prá cantar…(4x)
Prá cantar!
Era um dia, era claro
Quase meio
Era um canto falado
Sem ponteio
Violência, viola
Violeiro
Era morte redor
Mundo inteiro…
Era um dia, era claro
Quase meio
Tinha um que jurou
Me quebrar
Mas não lembro de dor
Nem receio
Só sabia das ondas do mar…
Jogaram a viola no mundo
Mas fui lá no fundo buscar
Se eu tomo a viola
Ponteio!
Meu canto não posso parar
Não…
Quem me dera agora
Eu tivesse a viola
Prá cantar, prá cantar
Ponteio…(4x)
Pontiarrrrrrrr!
Era um, era dois, era cem
Era um dia, era claro
Quase meio
Encerrar meu cantar
Já convém
Prometendo um novo ponteio
Certo dia que sei
Por inteiro
Eu espero não vá demorar
Esse dia estou certo que vem
Digo logo o que vim
Prá buscar
Correndo no meio do mundo
Não deixo a viola de lado
Vou ver o tempo mudado
E um novo lugar prá cantar…
Quem me dera agora
Eu tivesse a viola
Prá cantar
Ponteio…(4x)
Lá, láia, láia, láia…
Lá, láia, láia, láia…
Lá, láia, láia, láia…
Quem me dera agora
Eu tivesse a viola
Prá cantar
Ponteio…(4x)
Prá cantar
Pontiaaaaarrr…(4x)
Quem me dera agora
Eu tivesse a viola
Prá Cantar!
Lyrics translation
It was one, it was two, it was a hundred
It was the world coming and no one
That he knew I was a violinist
Give me love or money…
It was one, it was two, it was a hundred
They came to ask me:
"O you, Where Are you going
Where's it coming from?
Tell us what you have
Pro count»…
Standing in the middle of the world
I felt my moment come
I looked at the world and didn't even see
No shade, no sun
Nor wind…
I wish I could now
I had the viola
PRA sing ... (4x)
Let's sing!
It was a day, it was clear
Almost half
It was a spoken corner
No pointing
Violence, viola
Guitar players
Was death around
Whole world…
It was a day, it was clear
Almost half
There was one who swore
Break Me
But I do not remember pain
I'm not afraid.
I only knew the waves of the sea…
Played the viola in the world
But I went deep down to get
If I take the viola
Ponteio!
My singing can't stop
No…
I wish I could now
I had the viola
PRAA sing, PRAA sing
Ponteio...(4x)
Pontiarrrrrrrr!
It was one, it was two, it was a hundred
It was a day, it was clear
Almost half
Close my singing
It's okay.
Promising a new punt
One day I know
In full
I hope it won't take long
This day I'm sure will come
I'll tell you what I came
Prá search
Running in the middle of the world
I don't let the viola go.
I'll see the weather changed
And a new place to sing…
I wish I could now
I had the viola
PRA sing
Ponteio...(4x)
There, there, there, there, there…
There, there, there, there, there…
There, there, there, there, there…
I wish I could now
I had the viola
PRA sing
Ponteio...(4x)
PRA sing
Pontiaaaaarrr...(4x)
I wish I could now
I had the viola
Let's Sing!
