Full lyrics
Eu misturei maracatu, samba e baião
Vixe maria, menino, que bicho deu
Um peneirado que nem coco improvisado
Um baião bem sincopado
A mistura que se deu
Bate o pandeiro quero ver o coro no calo
O povo no embalo, um bate coxa sem parar
O rola-embola da catinga fez historia
Misturo rola com bola, quero ver a língua embolar
Sou do Nordeste, menino!
Cabra de peste divino!
Quebro e requebro do jeito que dá
Jacksoniano no sincopar do pandeiro
Num baião bem gonzagueiro
Eu boto o povo prá cantar
Nunca seca o canto do meu povo
Nem a seca que seca esse chão
Eu lhe garanto que a ema quando canta,
No canto dela tem samba, maracatu e baião
Translation
I mixed maracatu, samba, and baião
Oh my, boy, what a thing it turned out to be
A filtered rhythm like an improvised coconut song
A very syncopated baião
The mixture that happened
Hit the tambourine, I want to see the crowd with calluses
The people swaying, a non-stop close dancing
The tumbleweed of the scrubland made history
I mix tumble with ball, I want to see tongues get twisted
I'm from the Northeast, boy!
A divine rascal!
I break and shake in every way I can
Like Jackson do on the syncopated tambourine
In a very Gonzaga-style baião
I make the people sing
The song of my people never dries up
Nor does the drought that dries this land
I guarantee you that when the rhea sings,
In her song there is samba, maracatu and baião
