Lyrics and translation Zeca Baleiro - De Teresina a São Luís (com Tião Carvalho)

De Teresina a São Luís (com Tião Carvalho)

Peguei o trem em Teresina
Pra São Luiz do Maranhão
Atravessei o Parnaíba
Ai, ai que dor no coração
O trem danou-se naquelas brenhas
Soltando brasa, comendo lenha
Comendo lenha e soltando brasa
Tanto queima como atrasa
Tanto queima como atrasa
Bom dia Caxias
Terra morena de Gonçalves Dias
Dona Sinhá avisa pra seu Dá
Que eu tô muito avexado
Dessa vez não vou ficar
O trem danou-se naquelas brenhas
Soltando brasa, comendo lenha
Comendo lenha e soltando brasa
Tanto queima como atrasa
Tanto queima como atrasa
Boa tarde Codó, do folclore e do catimbó
Gostei de ver cabroxas de bom trato
Vendendo aos passageiros
"De comer" mostrando o prato
O trem danou-se naquelas brenhas
Soltando brasa, comendo lenha
Comendo lenha e soltando brasa
Tanto queima como atrasa
Tanto queima como atrasa
Alô atá,
Os cearenses acabaram de chegar
Meus irmãos, uma safra bem feliz
Vocês vão para a pedreira
Que eu vou pra São Luiz
O trem danou-se naquelas brenhas
Soltando brasa, comendo lenha
Comendo lenha e soltando brasa
Tanto queima como atrasa
Tanto queima como atrasa
Peguei o trem em Teresina
Pra São Luiz do Maranhão
Atravessei o Parnaíba
Ai, ai que dor no coração
O trem danou-se naquelas brenhas
Soltando brasa, comendo lenha
Comendo lenha e soltando brasa
Tanto queima como atrasa
Tanto queima como atrasa
Tanto queima como atrasa
Tanto queima como atrasa
Tanto queima como atrasa

From Teresina to São Luís (with Tião Carvalho)

I caught the train in Teresina
To São Luiz do Maranhão
I crossed the Parnaíba
Oh, oh, what a heartache
The train broke down in those ravines
Blowing embers, eating wood
Eating wood and blowing embers
It burns as much as it delays
It burns as much as it delays
Good morning, Caxias
Brown land of Gonçalves Dias
Dona Sinhá tells Dá
That I am very distressed
This time I won't stay
The train broke down in those ravines
Blowing embers, eating wood
Eating wood and blowing embers
It burns as much as it delays
It burns as much as it delays
Good afternoon, Codó, of folklore and catimbó
I liked seeing well-behaved cabrochas
Selling to passengers
"Food" showing the plate
The train broke down in those ravines
Blowing embers, eating wood
Eating wood and blowing embers
It burns as much as it delays
It burns as much as it delays
Atá
The Cearenses just arrived
My brothers, a very happy harvest
You go to the quarry
I'm going to São Luiz
The train broke down in those ravines
Blowing embers, eating wood
Eating wood and blowing embers
It burns as much as it delays
It burns as much as it delays
I caught the train in Teresina
To São Luiz do Maranhão
I crossed the Parnaíba
Oh, oh, what a heartache
The train broke down in those ravines
Blowing embers, eating wood
Eating wood and blowing embers
It burns as much as it delays
It burns as much as it delays
It burns as much as it delays
It burns as much as it delays
It burns as much as it delays
