Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Vida, Viola e Violeiro by Zezé Di Camargo & Luciano from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
A alma de um violeiro
The soul of a guitar player
É quando entoa pela madrugada
That's when you sing at dawn
Um dedo de prosa com a sua amada
A prose finger with your beloved
E um ponteio de viola
And a viola bridge
A vida de um violeiro
The life of a guitar player
Viola nas costas, vai pegando a estrada
Viola in the back, takes the road
Sem saber ao certo o ponto de chegada
Not knowing for sure the point of arrival
Só um ponteio de viola
Just a viola bridge
Violeiro só, sem a viola
Guitar man alone, without the viola
Ponto sem nó
Point without node
Viola na mão de um violeiro
Viola in the hand of a guitar player
O sonho de um violeiro
A guitar player's dream
É beira de rio, cigarro de palha
It's riverbank, straw cigarette
Picotando o fumo, e um fio da navalha
Snooting smoke, and a razor wire
Num peixe fisgado na hora
On a fish caught on the spot
A mágoa de um violeiro
The hurt of a guitar player
É quando a cabocla vai pra outras bandas
That's when the cabocla goes to other bands
Sabe deus onde ela anda
God knows where she walks
E assim um violeiro chora
And so a guitar player cries
