Full lyrics
Quando joca chegou,
Quis entrar no forró ninguém deixou
Ficou a ciscar no terreiro
Com uma peixeira na mão
O joca era um tipo desordeiro
Danou-se a dizer palavrão
No momento saia cada nome
E gritava ai dentro não tem homem
E sem tem pule do lado de fora
Que na hora eu mostro que o pau come
Uma nega que estava no forró
Achou que a coisa tava de mais
Correu dentro e pegou um pau-cipó
E gritou vou tirar os eu cartaz
Quando o povo aquela voz escutou
Muito homem valente desmaiou
E o joca disse eu vou
Essa é mulher macho sim senhor
Translation
When Joca arrived,
He wanted to enter the forró, but no one let him.
He started to stir up trouble in the yard
With a knife in his hand
Joca was a disorderly type
He started to furiously curse
At that moment, every insult came out
And he shouted, "There are no men in there!"
"And if there are, step outside!"
"Because right then I'll show you how the fight gets serious."
A Black woman who was at the forró
Thought that things had gone too far
She ran inside and grabbed a vine stick
And she shouted, "I'm going to take down your act!"
When the people heard that voice
Many brave men fainted
And Joca said, "I'm leaving!"
"She's a tough woman, indeed!"
