Explanation:
"Camará" é a forma abreviada (e possivelmente "substandard") de "camarada". Para ser exata e fiel ao original, a tradução precisaria captar esses detalhes.

Fellas
nonstandard spelling of fellow, used in representing speech in various dialects.
Goodbye, young fella. "'Here's some fellas want some breakfast, [or how'd it be if you jus' come in an' stood there till she seen you]?" ( John Steinbeck, from Grapes of Wrath). - https://books.google.com/books?id=r8-KDQAAQBAJ&pg=PA75&dq=He...

fella: fellow, man
