Zé Pelintra

Zé Pelintra came down, Zé Pelintra lowered
He's the one who arrives and breaks the lock
Of the closed gate
Zé Pelintra came down, Zé Pelintra lowered
He's the one who charms, who penetrates
Into every crevice and breaks the padlock

And when Zé Pelintra shows up in the village
The whole town dances
Breaks up ugly fights, sharp dressed in white suit
Hair slicked back with shiny pomade
He's the yolk of the egg, drinks jurema juice
Solves impossible demands
Elastic man, rubber man
Slides like vaseline
Greetings to his gang
(Greetings, greetings)

He's the one who opens a gap,
Lights a fuse in the dark,
Unscrews the screw and his horse is me

Zé Pelintra came down, Zé Pelintra lowered
He's the one who arrives and breaks the lock
Of the gate without a wall
Zé Pelintra came down, Zé Pelintra lowered
He's the one who charms, who penetrates
Into every crevice and breaks the padlock
