Full lyrics

Matemo' dois soldado, quatro cabo e um sargento

Mas, rapaz!

Tu quere' acabar com a polícia de Pernambuco?


Tu anda te gabando que matasse dois soldado

Quatro cabo e um sargento em Caruaru

Mas eu me alembro' bem, no forró de Zé Tatu

Quando o pau comeu, só quem correu foi tu


Tu anda te gabando que matasse dois soldado

Quatro cabo e um sargento em Caruaru

Mas eu me alembro' bem, no forró de Zé Tatu

Quando o pau comeu, só quem correu foi tu


Eu também sou de Caruaru

Te conheço pra chuchu, tu não és de brigar

E esse negócio de matar quatro sargento

Cumpadre', eu não aguento, venha devagar


Larga esse mania de ser valentão

Que até de cinturão, eu vi tu apanhar

Naquela pisa que Mané te deu

Se não fosse eu, tu ia se acabar


Eu também sou de Caruaru

Te conheço pra chuchu, tu não és de brigar

Esse negócio de matar quatro sargento

Cumpadre', eu não aguento, venha devagar


Larga esse mania de ser valentão

Até de cinturão, eu vi tu apanhar

Naquela pisa que Mané te deu

Se não fosse eu, tu ia se acabar


Tu anda te gabando que matasse dois soldado

Quatro cabo e um sargento em Caruaru

Mas eu me alembro' bem, no forró de Zé Tatu

Quando o pau comeu, só quem correu foi tu


Tu anda te gabando que matasse dois soldado

Quatro cabo e um sargento em Caruaru

Mas eu me alembro' bem, no forró de Zé Tatu

Quando o pau comeu, só quem correu foi tu


Eu também sou de Caruaru

Te conheço pra chuchu, tu não és de brigar

E esse negócio de matar quatro sargento

Cumpadre', eu não aguento, venha devagar


Larga esse mania de ser valentão

Que até de cinturão, eu vi tu apanhar

Naquela pisa que Mané te deu

Se não fosse eu, tu ia se acabar


Matemo' dois soldado, quatro cabo e um sargento

Danou-se!

Quase acabou com a polícia de Mané Neto

Translation

I killed two soldiers, four corporals and a sergeant

Man!

You want to wipe out the police of Pernambuco?


You go around bragging that you killed two soldiers

Four corporals and a sergeant in Caruaru

But I remember well, at Zé Tatu's forró

When the fight broke out, you were the only one who ran


You go around bragging that you killed two soldiers

Four corporals and a sergeant in Caruaru

But I remember well, at Zé Tatu's forró

When the fight broke out, you were the only one who ran


I'm also from Caruaru

I know you very well, you're not one to fight

And this business of killing four sergeants

Buddy, I can't take it, take it easy


Drop this habit of being a tough guy

I even saw you get beat up with a belt

In that beating that Mané gave you

If it weren't for me, you would have been finished


I'm also from Caruaru

I know you very well, you're not one to fight

This business of killing four sergeants

Buddy, I can't take it, take it easy


Drop this habit of being a tough guy

I even saw you get beat up with a belt

In that beating that Mané gave you

If it weren't for me, you would have been finished


You go around bragging that you killed two soldiers

Four corporals and a sergeant in Caruaru

But I remember well, at Zé Tatu's forró

When the fight broke out, you were the only one who ran


You go around bragging that you killed two soldiers

Four corporals and a sergeant in Caruaru

But I remember well, at Zé Tatu's forró

When the fight broke out, you were the only one who ran


I'm also from Caruaru

I know you very well, you're not one to fight

And this business of killing four sergeants

Buddy, I can't take it, take it easy


Drop this habit of being a tough guy

I even saw you get beat up with a belt

In that beating that Mané gave you

If it weren't for me, you would have been finished


I killed two soldiers, four corporals and a sergeant

Damn it!

He almost wiped out Mané Neto's police
