Full lyrics

Eu sou Odorico, o bem amado,

Considerado o maior de Sucupira.

"Emboramente" muita gente desconheça,

Quebre a cabeça, mas daqui ninguém me tira.

Dos entretantos eu cheguei aos finalmente

Mas infelizmente no meu peito ainda suspira


Tem dó, Dona Dó

Me ame, Dona Du

Não quero viver só,

Cadê Dona Juju?

(coro repete)


Não quero que essa gente oportunista,

Gente anarquista, badernista, militante

Faça campanha pra me tirar o mandato

Eu brigo e mato, e o meu povo me garante

Sou Odorico, e daqui ninguém me tira

De Sucupira, minha gente, eu sou amante


Tem dó, Dona Dó

Me ame, Dona Du

Não quero viver só,

Cadê Dona Juju?

(coro repete)

Translation

I am Odorico, the beloved,

Considered the greatest of Sucupira.

Although many people may not know it,

Rack your brains, but nobody takes me from here.

From the 'in-betweens' I reached the 'finallys'

But unfortunately, my heart still sighs


Have pity, Miss Dó

Love me, Miss Du

I don't want to live alone,

Where is Miss Juju?


I don't want these opportunistic people,

Anarchist, troublemaking, militant people

To campaign to remove me from office

I fight and kill, and my people guarantee me

I am Odorico, and nobody takes me from here

Of Sucupira, my people, I am a lover


Have pity, Miss Dó

Love me, Miss Du

I don't want to live alone,

Where is Miss Juju?
