Paroles et traduction Chico Buarque - Mano a mano

Mano a mano

Meu pára-choque com seu pára-choque Era um toque Era um pó que era um só
Eu e meu irmão Era porreta Carreta parelha a carreta Dançando na reta
Meu irmão Na beira de estrada valeu O que era dele era meu
Eu era ele Ele era eu
Ela era estrela Era flor do sertão Era pérola d′oeste Era consola_ção
Era amor na boléia Eram cem caminhões Mas ela era nova Viçosa, matriz
Era diamantina Era imperatriz Era só uma menina De três corações
E então
Atravessando a garganta Jamanta fechando jamanta Na curva crucial
Era uma barra, era engano Na certa, era cano Na mão, mano a mano
Pau a pau Na beira de estrada se deu Se o que era dele era meu
Ou era ele ou era eu
Ela era estrela Era flor do sertão Era pérola d'oeste Era consola_ção
Era amor na boléia Eram cem caminhões Mas ela era nova Viçosa, matriz
Era diamantina Era imperatriz Era só uma menina De três corações
E então
Então lavei as mãos Do sangue do Meu sangue do Meu sangue irmão
Chão

Mano a mano

My bumper with your bumper It was a touch It was a dust that was one
Me and my brother It was a kick Carreta parelha to carreta Dancing in the straight
My brother On the side of the road it was worth What was his was mine
I was him He was me
She was a star She was a flower from the backcountry She was a pearl from the west She was a consola_tion
It was love in the cab. They were a hundred trucks. But she was new. Vigorous, matrix
It was diamond. It was empress. She was just a girl with three hearts
And then
Crossing the gutter Jamanta closing jamanta On the crucial curve
It was a bar, it was a mistake. For sure, it was a pipe. In the hand, man to man
Hand to hand, on the roadside. If what was his was mine
Or it was him or it was me
She was a star She was a flower from the backcountry She was a pearl from the west She was a consola_tion
It was love in the cab. They were a hundred trucks. But she was new. Vigorous, matrix
It was diamond. It was empress. She was just a girl with three hearts
And then
Then I washed my hands Of the blood of My blood of My blood brother
Ground
