The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "O Velorio Do Heitor" by Paulinho da Viola.

Lyrics

Havia um certo respeito
No velório do Heitor
Muita gente concordava
Que apesar de catimbeiro
Era bom trabalhador
Houve choro e ladainha
Na sala e no corredor
E por ser considerado
Seu desaparecimento
Muita tristeza causou
Quem mais sentiu foi Nair
Que só falava das virtudes do Heitor
E pelos cantos da memória procurava
Todo o tempo
Em que ao seu lado caminhou
Os amigos mais chegados comentavam
Que não houvera
Outro cara tão legal
E muita gente concordou em ajudar
Uma família que ficara
Num desamparo total
Pode se dizer que aquele velório
Transcorreu na maior tranqüilidade
Até o momento
Em que surgiu aquela dama de preto
Trazendo flores
E chorando de saudade
Como ninguém conhecia a personagem
Nair foi tomar satisfação
E aí chamaram até o Osório
Que é delegado porque o velório
Virou a maior confusão
Porque simplesmente o velório
Virou a maior confusão

Lyrics translation

There was a certain respect
At the Heitor's wake
A lot of people agreed
That despite catimbeiro
He was a good worker.
There was crying and litany
In the living room and in the hallway
And for being considered
His disappearance
A lot of sadness caused
Who felt the most was Nair
That only spoke of the virtues of Heitor
And through the corners of memory I sought
All the time
On which next to you walked
The closest friends commented
That there was no
Another guy so cool
And a lot of people agreed to help
A family that had stayed
In total helplessness
It can be said that that wake
It took place in the greatest tranquility
So far
In which came that lady in black
Bringing flowers
And crying with longing
How no one knew the character
Nair was taking satisfaction
And there they called to the Osorio
Who is delegated because the wake
Turned the biggest mess
Because simply the wake
Turned the biggest mess
