Luiz Gonzaga

Na Emenda

Na emenda
Amarre a corda direito
Na emenda
Pra corda não rebentar
Na emenda
Mas dê um nó de respeito
Quero o povo satisfeito
Bincando de emendar

Na emenda
Tem moça que quebra jura
Na emenda
Depois não pode emendar
Na emenda
Mas cantador de viola
Arruma a rima na hora
E não deixa rima quebrar

Na emenda
Eu vou fazer um engenho
Na emenda
De corda de Caruá
Na emenda
É um trabalho bonito
Mulher torcendo o cambito
Fazendo a corda acochar

Na emenda
Os velhos tavam brincando
Na emenda
E depois deram pra brigar
Na emenda
A tristeza criou dó
O vovô enganou vovó
Na hora de emendar

In the Amendment

In the amendment
Tie the rope right
In the amendment
So the rope won't break
In the amendment
But tie a knot of respect
I want the people satisfied
Playing to mend

In the amendment
There's a girl who breaks vows
In the amendment
Then can't mend
In the amendment
But the viola player
Fixes the rhyme on the spot
And doesn't let the rhyme break

In the amendment
I'm going to make a contraption
In the amendment
With Caruá rope
In the amendment
It's a beautiful work
Woman twisting the cambito
Making the rope tight

In the amendment
The old folks were playing
In the amendment
And then they started to fight
In the amendment
Sadness created pity
Grandpa fooled grandma
When it was time to mend
