Full lyrics

Há certas coisas que o nortista não esquece

Mulher bonita e sincera e um forró organizado

A meia noite o candeeiro fumaçando

E negada dançando eita que prazer danado

O norte é bom, o norte é assim

Tem muito cabra bom, mas também tem cabra ruim


E eu e ela lá no canto do salão

De vez em quando um beijinho só pra ter animação

O sanfoneiro como é um cabra inteligente

Manda parar toda gente que é pra cota cobrar

E lá pras tantas vem um cabra encachaçado

Querendo parar o fole eita que brigão danado

Translation

There are certain things the nortista doesn't forget

Beautiful and sincere woman and an organized forró

At midnight the oil lamp smoking

And people dancing, oh what a hell of a pleasure

The North is good, the North is like that

There are many good cabras, but there are also bad cabras


And she and I there in the corner of the hall

From time to time a little kiss just to have some excitement

The sanfoneiro, as he is an intelligent cabra

Orders everyone to stop so he can collect the fee

And later on comes a cabra drunk on cachaça

Wanting to stop the fole, oh what a hell of a brawler
