Ole, I am a bandit, the Bandit of Brazil
I'm the quickest on the trigger, when I shoot I shoot to k**
I'm a hero down in Rio, where they talk about me still
Once I robbed a big ranchero, who was rich beyond compare
And to ransom held his daughter, she was young and she was fair
Ole, I am a bandit, the Bandit of Brazil
She was sweet and she was tender, there was love light in her eyes
In my arms she soon surrendered, very much to my surprise
I refused her father's ransom, and I kept the greater prize
Now at night we ride together beneath the blue Brazilian sky
Adios to you, Amigo, Adios to you, my friend...
Ole, O Cangachero, the Bandit of Brazil
Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole
