Inquilina de Violeiro (part. Zezé Di Camargo e Luciano)

If I were a bird
I would want to fly in space
And land softly
In the circles of your arms
I would want to feel your affection
To ease the pain I go through
I would want to give you a little kiss
And then a strong hug

It's a very true saying
Who loves never forgets
Who has their love far away
Cries, sighs, and suffers
The heart suffers a lot
The longing in the chest grows
If you have another love
Be honest and clarify to me

A boy with his guitar is coming from the countryside
With a cowboy hat and farmer's attire
In a building in São Paulo, he entered the elevator
A girl also entered, like a flower bud
Finding the girl so beautiful, the boy said to her
I want to be your love

The girl replied with an impolite gesture
To me, you're just a resigned beggar
You with that guitar are a backward hillbilly
You have nothing to your name and want to be my boyfriend
I only stay with noble people
You're such a poor boy, I don't date riffraff

The very polite boy then said to the girl
I walk with this guitar to fulfill my fate
But I'm very meticulous, I only have corner buildings
To me, you're just a false high society lady
Where you live is not yours, this building here is mine
You are my tenant

Call me what you want, a hillbilly or a country boy
This hat represents the trophy of the cowboys
I won't give up this guitar, because I'm a good Brazilian
You're late on your rent, I came to collect my money
Fulfill your duty better
Feel proud to be a tenant of the guitarist
