A Vaca De Fogo Lyrics

À porta
daquela igreja
vai um grande corropio
À volta
duma coisa velha
reina grande confusão
Os putos
já fogem dela
deita o fogo a rebentar
soltaram
uma vaca em chamas
com um homem a guiar

São voltas
Ai amor são voltas
Sete voltas
são as voltas da maralha
Ai são voltas
Ai amor são voltas
são as voltas
são as voltas da canalha

No largo
daquela igreja
vive o ser tradicional
A volta
duma coisa velha
e não muda a condição

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
