Full lyrics
Maracatu, maracatu
Dança boa, que liga de norte a sul
Tem folia senhor
Bate-papo de amor
Nesta onda de arromba
Deixa que eu vou
Travesseiro de lã
Canta ao longe acauã
Quando durmo é sonhando com maracatu
Lembra Pernambuco
Terra que seduz
Cantei o coco, xaxado, ciranda
Agora vou cantar
Um maracatu
Translation
Maracatu, maracatu
Good dance, that connects from north to south
There's revelry sir
Love chat
In this amazing vibe
Let me go
Wool pillow
The acauã sings in the distance
When I sleep, I'm dreaming of maracatu
It reminds of Pernambuco
Land that seduces
I sang the coco, xaxado, ciranda
Now I will sing
A maracatu
