Full lyrics
Compadre vamos já
Pro forro da rancharia
Ta bom e ta danado
No pagode da Maria
Você que ta no pé
Agüenta o machucado
Vambora mano Zé
Pra dança boa do xaxado
Maria uma mulata
Que dança de pé no chão
Nasceu em rancharia
Hoje mora no sertão
La no pagode ta se desmanchando
O povo gritando agüenta o rojão
Quando dou um grito a Maria se espanta
O som da garganta não tem confusão
E o sanfoneiro no fole contente
E pra aquela gente eu sou o valentão
Translation
Compadre, let's go now
To the forró of the rancharia
It's good and it's wild
At Maria's pagode
You who are on your feet
Endure the hurt
Let's go, brother Zé
For the good xaxado dance
Maria, a mulata
Who dances barefoot
Was born in rancharia
Today lives in the sertão
There at the pagode she's letting loose
The people shouting "endure the challenge"
When I let out a shout, Maria gets startled
The sound from the throat has no confusion
And the sanfona player, happy with the sanfona
And for those people, I am the tough guy
