Lyrics and translation Bezerra Da Silva - A Culpada Foi Quitéria

A Culpada Foi Quitéria

Fui num forró lá na cachanga do Abdias
Nunca vi tanta alegria e poeira levantar
Mas de repente, quando bate meia-noite
Chegou um cara com uma foice mandando o forró parar
Mas se deu mal porque não foi de brincadeira
Apareceu tanta peixeira, só via faca voar, voar, voar

Só via faca voar, só via faca voar
Só via faca voar, voar, voar, voar
Só via faca voar

Só via faca voar (e eu também)
Só via faca voar
Só via faca voar, voar, voar, voar
Só via faca voar

E a culpada da encrenca
Foi Quitéria que deitou numa tapera
Com o tal de Zé Gambá

O burburinho chegou no ouvido do marido
Foi aí que o boi traído correu lá pra confirmar
Pegou a nega de chamego com o Zé
Quebrou a cara da mulher e começou o bafafá, vai lá

Só via faca voar, só via faca voar
Só via faca voar, voar, voar, voar
Só via faca voar

Só via faca voar (e eu também)
Só via faca voar ('simbora)
Só via faca voar, voar, voar, voar
Só via faca voar

E Zé do fole saiu pra tomar um gole
Foi aí que ele deu mole, não deu tempo de voltar
Zé do zabumba também entrou na quizumba
Levou um chute na bunda, ficou de pernas pro ar, vai lá

Só via faca voar, só via faca voar
Só via faca voar, voar, voar, voar
Só via faca voar

Só via faca voar ('bora, gente)
Só via faca voar
Só via faca voar, voar, voar, voar
Só via faca voar

E Pindeleco, primo-avô de Zé Pelea
Lesco, lesco na orelha, sobrancelha a levantar
Uma foiçada quase arranca o cocuruto
Do tal de Joel Maluco que tentou apaziguar, vai lá

Só via faca voar, só via faca voar
É, só via faca voar, voar, voar, voar
Só via faca voar

Só via faca voar (aonde?)
Só via faca voar (pra onde?)
Só via faca voar, voar, voar, voar
Só via faca voar

Graças a Deus, não houve morto nem ferido
Todo mundo era amigo, foi cachaça pra danar
É que em forró não pode entrar nego enxerido
Se a mulher tá sem marido, o cabra tem que respeitar, vai lá

Só via faca voar, só via faca voar
Só via faca voar, voar, voar, voar
Só via faca voar, 'simbora, gente

Só via faca voar (pra onde?)
Só via faca voar (sem asa?)
Só via faca voar, voar, voar, voar
Só via faca voar

É, eu só via faca voar, 'simbora gente
Só via faca voar
É, só via faca voar, voar, voar, voar
Só via faca voar

Só via faca voar, só via faca voar
Só via faca voar, voar, voar, voar
Só via faca voar

Olhem, só via faca voar
Eu só via faca voar
É, só via faca voar, voar, voar, voar
Só via faca voar, 'simbora, gente

Só via faca voar, só via faca voar
Só via faca voar, voar, voar, voar
Só via faca voar

Eu só via faca voar...

Quitéria Was to Blame

I went to a forró at Abdias' shack
Never seen so much joy and dust rise
But suddenly, when midnight strikes
A guy arrived with a scythe, ordering the forró to stop
But he messed up because it wasn't a joke
So many knives appeared, all I saw were blades flying, flying, flying

All I saw were blades flying, all I saw were blades flying
All I saw were blades flying, flying, flying, flying
All I saw were blades flying

All I saw were blades flying (me too)
All I saw were blades flying
All I saw were blades flying, flying, flying, flying
All I saw were blades flying

And the one to blame for the trouble
Was Quitéria who lay down in a shack
With that Zé Gambá

The gossip reached her husband's ears
That's when the betrayed ox ran there to confirm
He caught his wife cuddling with Zé
He smashed her face and the ruckus began, come on

All I saw were blades flying, all I saw were blades flying
All I saw were blades flying, flying, flying, flying
All I saw were blades flying

All I saw were blades flying (me too)
All I saw were blades flying (let's go)
All I saw were blades flying, flying, flying, flying
All I saw were blades flying

And Zé do fole went out for a drink
That's when he messed up, he didn't have time to return
Zé do zabumba also got into the mess
He got kicked in the butt, ended up with his legs in the air, come on

All I saw were blades flying, all I saw were blades flying
All I saw were blades flying, flying, flying, flying
All I saw were blades flying

All I saw were blades flying (let's go, people)
All I saw were blades flying
All I saw were blades flying, flying, flying, flying
All I saw were blades flying

And Pindeleco, great-uncle of Zé Pelea
Squinting, squinting in the ear, eyebrow raised
A slash almost ripped off the top of the head
Of that Joel Maluco who tried to calm things down, come on

All I saw were blades flying, all I saw were blades flying
Yeah, all I saw were blades flying, flying, flying, flying
All I saw were blades flying

All I saw were blades flying (where?)
All I saw were blades flying (to where?)
All I saw were blades flying, flying, flying, flying
All I saw were blades flying

Thank God, there were no deaths or injuries
Everyone was friends, it was the cachaça to blame
It's that nosy guys can't enter a forró
If the woman's without her husband, the guy has to respect that, come on

All I saw were blades flying, all I saw were blades flying
All I saw were blades flying, flying, flying, flying
All I saw were blades flying, let's go, people

All I saw were blades flying (where?)
All I saw were blades flying (without wings?)
All I saw were blades flying, flying, flying, flying
All I saw were blades flying

Yeah, all I saw were blades flying, let's go people
All I saw were blades flying
Yeah, all I saw were blades flying, flying, flying, flying
All I saw were blades flying

All I saw were blades flying, all I saw were blades flying
All I saw were blades flying, flying, flying, flying
All I saw were blades flying

Look, all I saw were blades flying
All I saw were blades flying
Yeah, all I saw were blades flying, flying, flying, flying
All I saw were blades flying, let's go, people

All I saw were blades flying, all I saw were blades flying
All I saw were blades flying, flying, flying, flying
All I saw were blades flying

All I saw were blades flying...
