Сangacero Lampião (Mestre Barrao)

E Lampião
Subia a serra
Descia a ladeira
Maria bonita cantava mulher rendeira
E! Lampião ele foi pégo
Foi morto a traição
Não se entregava a polícia
Coronel nem capitão
Lampião
E! Maria bonita
Era mulher macho, sim senhor
Ao Lampião
Seu coraçao lhe entregou
Lampião
E! Vigulino Férreira
o cangacero Lampião
Seu nome ficou marcado
Na história do sertão
Lampião
E! Junto com Corisco
Ventania azulao e ponteira
Ze sereno moita brava
Dada, Bem-tivi e Járaraça
Lampião
The History Of The Song
This song to be sung in homage to Mestre Lampiao,presumably, just before he was killed. The lyrics give an inkling that Lampiao knew he had been betrayed so wanted to escape with his loved one, Maria Bonita. It seems that in spite of his murders,rape and pillaging activities, even to this day he is regarded as a folk hero. It is something about the Brazilians: they admire the underdog and his fight against the powers to be. Maria, stayed with him always, though the girl with miscellaneous eyes,looked totally out of place with the band of cangaceiros. His escapades, with Maria at his side, across the Serta, a semi arid desert to the north east of Brazil remain etched in Brazilian folklore
