Inquilina de Violeiro

And a boy with a guitar
It's coming from the interior
With a cowboy hat
And farmer's attire
In a building in São Paulo
Got into an elevator

A girl also came in
Like a flower bud
Finding the girl so beautiful
The boy told her
I want to be your love

The girl replied
In a very delicate way
You don't pass me by
From a resigned beggar
You with your guitar
He's a backward country boy

There's nowhere to fall dead
And he wants to be my boyfriend
I only date noble people
You are such a poor boy
I don't date poor people

And the boy is very polite
So I told the girl
I walk with this guitar
To fulfill my destiny
But I'm very capricious
Only corner building
It doesn't work for me
From a fake big shot
Where you live is not yours
This building here is mine
You are my tenant

Call me whatever you want
From a country boy or a country bumpkin
This hat represents
The cowboys' trophy
I won't let go of this guitar
Because I'm a good Brazilian
You're late paying your rent
I came to receive my money
Do your duty
Be proud to be
Tenant of a guitarist
