Full lyrics
Lá para calcaia por baba fui convidado
Pruma dança de xaxado na casa de um tal de Zacharias
Houve uma briga 10 nos chão 15 estirados
Também 20 amarrados
Para morrer no outro dia
E só se ouvia os estalos do Jucá
E os gritos fura ele
Bota o sangue para qualhar
E um valente um cabra do iguatu
Da carreira e do medo do medo
trepou-se num pé de mandacarú
é de morte a terra do babá
o babá é bom na bola
e o pai dele é no jucá
Translation
There in Calcaia, by Baba, I was invited
To a xaxado dance at the house of a certain Zacharias
There was a fight, 10 on the ground, 15 stretched out
Also 20 tied up
To die the next day
And you could only hear the cracks of the Jucá
And the screams, stab him!
Let the blood curdle
And a brave man, a guy from Iguatu
From the rush and the fear of fear
Climbed up a mandacaru cactus
It's death in the land of Babá
Babá is good with the ball
And his father is good with the Jucá
It's death in the land of Babá
Babá is good with the ball
And his father is good with the Jucá
