Full lyrics

Quando a lama virou pedra

E Mandacaru secou

Quando o Ribação de sede

Bateu asa e voou

Foi aí que eu vim me embora

Carregando a minha dor

Hoje eu mando um abraço

Pra ti pequenina


Paraíba masculina,

Muié macho, sim sinhô


Eita pau pereira

Que em princesa já roncou

Eita Paraíba

Muié macho sim sinhô


Eita pau pereira

Meu bodoque não quebrou

Hoje eu mando

Um abraço pra ti pequenina


Paraíba masculina,

Muié macho, sim sinhô


Quando a lama virou pedra

E Mandacaru secou


Quando arribação de sede

Bateu asa e voou

Foi aí que eu vim me embora

Carregando a minha dor

Hoje eu mando um abraço

Pra ti pequenina


Paraíba masculina,

Muié macho, sim sinhô


Eita, eita

Translation

When the mud turned to stone

And Mandacaru dried up

When the flock of birds from thirst

Beat its wings and flew away

That's when I came away

Carrying my pain

Today I send a hug

To you, little one


Paraíba, masculine,

Tough woman, yes sir


Oh, pau pereira

That in Princesa already roared

Oh, Paraíba

Tough woman, yes sir


Oh, pau pereira

My slingshot didn't break

Today I send

A hug to you, little one


Paraíba, masculine,

Tough woman, yes sir


When the mud turned to stone

And Mandacaru dried up


When the flock of birds from thirst

Beat its wings and flew away

That's when I came away

Carrying my pain

Today I send a hug

To you, little one


Paraíba, masculine,

Tough woman, yes sir


Oh, oh
