- This story fascinated me since I first saw the movie of the same name. It was a well done Brazilian movie in 1953, depicting a life of bandits around the 1925 depression. They all perished by government forces in July 1938. This movie left behind a bunch of songs, full of spirit and rhythm. The melodies were embedded in my mind since 1955, when I saw the movie. I took the liberty to create an English version.
The leader was "Captain" Virgulino Ferreira da Silva (Brazilian Portuguese: June 1897 - 28 July 1938), better known as Lampião, meaning "lantern" or "oil lamp"), was probably the twentieth century's most successful traditional bandit leader. The banditry endemic to the Brazilian Northeast was called Cangaço. Cangaço had origins in the late 19th century but was particularly prevalent in the 1920s and 1930s. Lampião led a band of up to 100 cangaceiros, who occasionally took over small towns and who fought a number of successful actions against paramilitary police when heavily outnumbered. Lampião's exploits and reputation turned him into a folk hero, the Brazilian equivalent of Jesse James or Pancho Villa.

the original version "Mulher Rendeira" tells a story about a lace maker woman, and a man who tells her to teach him how to make lace and he will teach her how to love.
"Hey there, lacemaking lady
Look here, lace woman
You teach me how to make lace
I'll teach you how to love
An outlaw's wife -
Is not afraid of grimaces
When she senses something bad
It just rolls off, down to the ground"
Old west Brazilian, ou melhor dizendo old north east
