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 to Calcaia by Baba I was invited
To a xaxado dance at the house of a certain Zacharias
There was a fight 10 on the floor 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 pierce him
Put the blood to curdle
And a brave one a guy from Iguatu
From the race and the fear of fear
climbed up a mandacaru tree
it's death the land of the babá
the babá is good at ball
and his father is in the jucá
it's death the land of the babá
the babá is good at ball
and his father is in the jucá
