Full lyrics
Em um forró na Guanabara
Uma mulher bateu num homem
Eu vi bater, e ele gritou pra valer
Eu vi bater, e só você vendo pra crer
Eu vi bater, e ninguém pode se meter
Porque a mulher veio acompanhada
Com dois magnatas da barra pesada
E de madrugada bateu num rapaz ate não querer mais
E ninguém falou nada
Mulher valente, Mulher de briga
O nome dela é Maria Paraíba
Translation
At a forró dance in Guanabara
A woman hit a man
I saw her hit, and he screamed loudly
I saw her hit, and you'd only believe it if you saw it
I saw her hit, and no one can interfere
Because the woman came accompanied
With two heavy-hitting tycoons
And at dawn she hit a guy until she didn't want to anymore
And nobody said anything
Brave woman, fighting woman
Her name is Maria Paraíba
