Full lyrics
"eu me chamo zé limeira da paraíba falada
Cantada nas escriturs, saudadndo o pai da coaiada
Comigo não tem perrepis
Eu me chamo zé limeira, cantador de sabedorias
Peço licensa primeiro
Pra cantar filosomia"
O zé limeira vem cantar pra gente
O zé limeira vem cantar
Filosomia, poesia, magia, sabedoria popular
Filanlumia, poesia, magia, sabedoria popular
Peço licensa primeiro
Pra aquele menino a navegar
Credo em curz, ave maria
Esse bicho fala só
Parece um tatú quadrado
Apeado num jumento selado
Me diga se é violento
Que de cipó eu arrebento
Translation
I am Zé Limeira from the famous Paraíba
Sung in the scriptures, greeting the father of the curd
With me there are no troubles
I am Zé Limeira, singer of wisdoms
I ask permission first
To sing philosomia"
Zé Limeira comes to sing for us
Zé Limeira comes to sing
Philosomia, poetry, magic, popular wisdom
Philanlumia, poetry, magic, popular wisdom
I ask permission first
For that boy navigating
Credo in cruce, Hail Mary
This creature speaks alone
Looks like a square armadillo
Dismounted on a saddled donkey
Tell me if it's violent
Because with a liana I'll break it
Zé Limeira comes to sing for us
Zé Limeira comes to sing
Philosomia, poetry, magic, popular wisdom
Philanlumia, poetry, magic, popular wisdom
