Lampião's bandits began their assault on the town to the sound of a bugle; when advancing they shouted vivas and sang their special song, Mulher Rendeira (The Lacemaker). However, the inhabitants had time to organise a defence, and 300 armed townsmen drove off Lampião's 60 cangaceiros<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msvalyziTOc<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxjWPUJmVvA<br /><br />Volta Seca ["Dry Gulch" Antônio dos Santos] - joined the bandits aged 14 as a message-carrier. He was later interviewed in prison and his accounts were an important source for the history of Lampião's activities. He composed and sang a number of songs about, or associated with, Lampião's bandits; many years later, in 1957, these were recorded for a sound documentary by Todamérica.<br /><br />A pequena vai no bolso, a maior vai no embornal<br />Se chora por mim não fica, só se eu não puder levar<br />O fuzil de lampião, tem cinco laços de fita<br />O lugar que ele habita, não falta moça bonita<br /><br />The little one was carry in the pocket, the big one in the bag <br />The little was the smallest guns like revolvers and the big was the rifle <br />If you cry for me you dont have to stay, only if I cant bring you with me <br />The Lampiãos rifle, have five bow of strip of cloth <br />The place were he lives, dont lack in beautiful womans<br /><br /><br />Volta Seca / Mulher Rendeira / <br /><br />-<br /><br />If you have to kill, kill quickly.
