Full lyrics

Lá no meu sertão pros caboclo lê

Têm que aprender um outro ABC


O jota é ji, o éle é lê

O ésse é si, mas o érre

Tem nome de rê


Até o ypsilon lá é pssilone

O eme é mê, O ene é nê


O efe é fê, o gê chama-se guê

Na escola é engraçado ouvir-se tanto ê


A, bê, cê, dê,

Fê, guê, lê, mê,

Nê, pê, quê, rê,

Tê, vê e zê.

Translation

There in my sertão for the caboclo to read

They have to learn another ABC


The J is ji, the L is lê

The S is si, but the R

Has the name of rê


Even the Y there is pssilone

The M is mê, The N is nê


The F is fê, the G is called guê

In school it's funny to hear so much ê


A, bê, cê, dê,

Fê, guê, lê, mê,

Nê, pê, quê, rê,

Tê, vê and zê.
