Full lyrics
Eu escutei os tambores tocando
Fui procurar para vê se achava
Andei a noite todinha
Só de manhazinha achei onde tava
Mais não podia ir La,
Porque era índio xodó
Eles tocavam e cantavam
Uma toada lá de Marajó
Que dizia assim:
É segunda, é terça, é quarta, é quinta
É sexta-feira em Marajó
Translation
I heard the drums playing
I went looking to see if I could find it
I walked all night long
Only in the early morning did I find where it was
But I couldn't go there,
Because it was the darling Indian's place
They played and sang
A tune from Marajó
That went like this:
It's Monday, it's Tuesday, it's Wednesday, it's Thursday
It's Friday in Marajó
