Full lyrics
Voltei, Recife
Foi a saudade
Que me trouxe pelo braço
Quero ver novamente "Vassoura"
Na rua abafando
Tomar umas e outras
E cair no passo
Cadê "Toureiros"?
Cadê "Bola de Ouro"?
"As Pás", Os "lenhadores"
O "Bloco Batutas de São José"?
Quero sentir
A embriaguês do frevo
Que entra na cabeça
Depois toma o corpo
E acaba no pé
Translation
I'm back, Recife
It was longing
That brought me by the arm
I want to see "Vassoura" again
On the street stifling
Have a few drinks
And fall into the step
Where are "Toureiros"?
Where is "Bola de Ouro"?
"As Pás", The "lenhadores"
The "Bloco Batutas de São José"?
I want to feel
The drunkenness of the frevo
That enters the head
Then takes the body
And ends in the foot
