Lyrics of Cabo Tenório - Jackson Do Pandeiro

Cabo Tenório (original)

O cabo tenório é o maior inspetor de quarteirão
O cabo tenório é o maior inspetor de quarteirão
O cabo era bamba, disposto danado
Bem considerado no seu batalhão
Amigo do praça, do sub-tenente
De toda a patente de fino galão
Zangado era doido, ficava valente
Virava serpente de punhal na mão
Mas ficava manso e a briga acabava
Se o povo gritasse lhe dando razão e dissesse
Cabo tenério é o maior inspetor de quarteirão
O cabo tenório é o maior inspetor de quarteirão
Olha na casa de tota fizeram um forró
Tenório foi só dançar e beber
Os cabras de lá quiseram lhe bater
Tenório gritou — Vixe, vai ter confusão
Balançou a mão, deu murro e bufete
Tomou canivete, peixeira e facão
Os brabos correram quem ficou presente
Gritava contente no meio do salão e dizia
Cabo tenório é o maior inspetor de quarteirão

(translation)

Corporal Tenório is the biggest inspector in the block
Corporal Tenório is the biggest inspector in the block
The handle was bamba, damn willing
Well regarded in your battalion
Friend of the plaza, of the sub-lieutenant
Of all the fine gallon patent
Angry was crazy, he was brave
He became a serpent with a dagger in his hand
But he was tame and the fight was over
If the people shouted giving him reason and said
Cabo tenério is the biggest inspector of block
Corporal Tenório is the biggest inspector in the block
Look at tota's house they made a forró
Tenório was just dancing and drinking
The goats there wanted to beat him
Tenório shouted — Come on, there's going to be trouble
He shook his hand, punched and buffeted
He took a pocketknife, fishmonger and machete
The brabos ran whoever was present
He shouted happily in the middle of the hall and said
Cabo tenorio is the biggest inspector of block
