Full lyrics
Olha que é esse meu coco com Embraco
Cantador segura o passo quem não seca cai no laço
Em Jatobá, tem coquista de primeira
Que canta coco na beira, e rima pra pirar(?)
No patuá tem coco mais dendê(?)
So você vendo pra crer, coquista de ganzá
La em Goiânia tem coco de macaíba
Tem coco de imbiriba, tem coco de catolé
Tem tanto coco, quando ta tudo maduro
Se não tirar ele logo, seca tudo e cai do pé
Translation
Look, this is my coco with Embraco
The singer holds their step, whoever doesn't keep up falls into the trap
In Jatobá, there are first-rate coco singers
Who sing coco on the edge, and rhyme to blow your mind
In the patuá, there's coco with more dendê
You just have to see it to believe, a coco singer with a ganzá
Up in Goiânia, there's macaíba coco
There's imbiriba coco, there's catolé coco
There's so much coco, when it's all ripe
If you don't pick it soon, everything dries up and falls from the tree
