Full lyrics
Alô, alô cangaceiros
Trago alforria no passo
Eu sou um boi mandingueiro
Eu sou o Rei do Cangaço
Meu boi tem manha
Tem raça, tem argumento
Vem do cheiro da cachaça
Da Estrada do Encanamento
Meu boi tem Lua
No cheiro da Carolina
E a pisada do xaxado
No encalço da concertina
Carolina
Meu boizinho é marrueiro
Tem o lombo enfeitado
Dá um bolero na ponta
Meu boizinho é perfumado
Translation
Hello, hello, cangaceiros
I bring freedom in my step
I am a cunning ox
I am the King of Cangaço
My ox has cunning
Has spirit, has persuasion
Comes from the smell of cachaça
From the Pipeline Road
My ox has the Moon
In Carolina's scent
And the xaxado step
In pursuit of the concertina
Carolina
My little ox is tricky
Has its back adorned
Does a bolero on its toes
My little ox is perfumed
