Full lyrics
Ele é pernambucano, do canavial
Veio pro salão, é social
Madame na boate fica solfejando
Ao som da champanhota diz: O coco é bom!
O musicista toca sem sair do tom
Toda gente bem fica admirando
Disse o criminalista: Esse coco mata!
É super bizantino, diz o general
Jacinto de Thormes na pena não dorme
E diz o coco é bom, é social
E diz o coco é bom, é social
Ele é pernambucano, do canavial
Veio pro salão, é social
O diplomata canta baixo na surdina
O financista gosta e faz anotação
Banqueiro financia, pois vale um milhão
Diz a dama de preto, é dança granfina
Jurista de renome aconselha o povo
O Almirante diz: Ele é nacional
Ibrahim Sued esforço não mede
E diz o coco é bom; é social
E diz o coco é bom; é social
Ele é pernambucano, do canavial
Veio pro salão, é social
Translation
He is from Pernambuco, from the sugarcane field
Came to the hall, it's social
Madame at the nightclub keeps humming
To the sound of champagne she says: The coco is good!
The musician plays without going off-key
All the well-to-do people keep admiring
The criminal lawyer said: This coco kills!
It's super Byzantine, says the general
Jacinto de Thormes doesn't sleep on the pen
And says the coco is good, it's social
And says the coco is good, it's social
He is from Pernambuco, from the sugarcane field
Came to the hall, it's social
The diplomat sings softly in a low voice
The financier likes it and takes notes
The banker finances, for it's worth a million
Says the lady in black, it's a high-class dance
Renowned jurist advises the people
The Admiral says: He is national
Ibrahim Sued spares no effort
And says the coco is good; it's social
And says the coco is good; it's social
He is from Pernambuco, from the sugarcane field
Came to the hall, it's social
