1. O poet da roça - Patativa do Assaré

Sou fio das mata, cantô da mão grosa
I work na roça, winter and summer
A minha chupana is covered with mud
I only smoke a paia de mio cigar
Sou poeta das brenha, não faço o papé
From argum menestrê, ou wandering sang
That I have seen wandering, with his viola
Singing, pachola, à percura de amô
I don't know, I never studied
Barely eu seio o meu nome assiná
Meu pai, coitadinho! lived sem copper
E o fio do poor I can't study

Meu rastero verse, singelo e sem graça
Do not enter the praça, not rich salão
Meu verse only enters no field da roça and two eito
E times, remembering happy mocidade
I sing a sodade that dwells in meu peito

O poem em questão portrays o worker da roça, or simple homem do field. Or author, Antônio Gonçalves da Silva, who was born into Patativa do Assaré, born in Ceará in 1909.

Filho de Camponeses, Patativa always trabalhou na lida do campo e I studied for few years at school, or enough to be literate. He began to make string poems for about two 12 years and, same as recognition, he never left to work on the ground.

Nesse cordel, Patativa então descreve seu way of living, fazendo a parallel with the life of so many Brazilians, homens e mulheres filhos do sertão and rural workers.

2. Ai se sesse - Zé da Luz

Se um dia nós se gostasse
Se um dia nós se queresse
Se dois se parasse
Se together nós dois vivesse
Se juntin nós dois morasse
Se juntin nós dois durmisse
Se juntin nós dois morresse
Be pro céu nos assubisse

But porém happened de São Pedro não abrisse
A porta do céu e fosse te dizer qualquer tolice
E se eu will pull me close
And you like the EU insist that the EU solve me
E a minha faca puxasse
E o bucho do céu furasse
Maybe you give us ficasse
Maybe that you give us fall
E o céu furado arriasse e as virgem all fugisse

Em Ai se sesse, the poet Zé da Luz elaborates a fantasy and romantic dinner of a house of lovers that spends a whole life together, being companions na morte also.

It is eu soubesse that this world
It was so corrupted
Eu tinha feito uma greve
Porém não tinha born
Minha mãe não tell me
The monarchy remains
Eu was born, I was deceived
Pra viver neste mundo
Lean, trapilho, corcundo,
Além de tudo selado.
Assim mesmo meu avô
When he hit me,

O tempo vai melhorar.
Eu de tolo credited
For innocent I waited
Ainda me sit my throne
He came back to distract me
Dizia tempo ha de vir
What a dinheiro I do not fear.

Sou o gibão do vaqueiro, sou cuscuz sou rapadura
Your life is difficult and hard
Northeast Brazilian Sou
Sou cantador violeiro, sou alegria ao chover
Sou doutor sem saber ler, sou rich sem ser granfino
How much more northeastern, more proud to be
Da minha cabeça chata, do meu sotaque dragged
We are only streaked, dessa battered people
Quase always unjustified, used to sofrer
Mais mesmo nesse suffer eu sou happy since childhood
How much more Northeast, more proud I have to be

Isso only gives me prazer and hoje more uma vez eu quero dizer
Muito obrigado ao destination, quanto mais sou northeastern
Mais I am proud to be.

Appreciate, my readers,
Uma forte discussão,
What do you think about Zé Pretinho,
Um cantador do sertão,
O qual, not tanger do verso,
Vencia any questão.

A sair do Quixadá
Uma das belas cidades
State of Ceará.
I was até or Piauí,
See the singers of la.
I stay at Pimenteira
Depois em Alagoinha;
Cantei no Campo Maior,
No Angico e na Baixinha.
De la eu tive um convite
To sing na Varzinha.
