Full lyrics

Nosso país tá muito americanizado

Em todo canto a gente só fala inglês

É shopping center é spa é workshop

Ôxente minha gente vamos falar português


É outdoor espalhado pela cidade

É hot-dog self-service e muito mais

Meu endereço agora se chama e-mail

Internet home page

Um coffee break pra vocês


Quero falar dos costumes da minha terra

Lá onde a gente fala o nordestinês

Cabra da peste cala boca seu menino

Eu tenho sangue nordestino

E vou falar mais uma vez

Translation

Our country is very Americanized

Everywhere we only speak English

It's shopping center, it's spa, it's workshop

Oh my people, let's speak Portuguese


It's outdoor spread throughout the city

It's hot-dog, self-service and much more

My address is now called e-mail

Internet home page

A coffee break for you all


I want to talk about the customs of my land

There where we speak Nordestinês

Cabra da peste, shut up, you boy

I have Northeastern blood

And I will speak one more time
