(These are the names of the members of Lampiao's gang!)
(They were outlaw rebels that would steal from the rich and give to the poor)
(like a Brasilian Robin Hood).)

(their heads were decapitated and displayed in the square of the city of Recife, Pernambuco.)
Quando degolaram minha cabeça
Passei mais de dois segundos
Vendo meu corpo tremendo
E não sabia o que fazer
Morrer, viver, morrer, viver
(Translation:)
When they cut off my head
For more than two seconds
I watch my body shake
And I didn't know what to do
To die, to live, to die, to live
