Full lyrics

Você não pense

Que só é no Moxotó

Que tem cabra extravagante

Ele não está só

Vou lhe provar

Que também no meu estado

Tem sujeito viciado

Como tem no Piancó

Se atirar pra burro brabo

Segurar o mocotó


Dá nó em cobra

Isto lá é brincadeira

Vi cabra pegar pexeira

Dela retalhar-le a mão

Montar em touro

Amansar botar a canga

Vi um cabra de Pitanga

Fazer isso em Conceição

Lá viveu Clementino

Que brigou com Lampião


Lá tem morena, tem

Que tem sorrido também

Que ido lá um Alguém

É de ficar e chorar

Morena que a natureza

Lhe confiou a beleza

No piancó

Quem vai lá

Não quer voltar

Translation

You don't think

That it's only in Moxotó

That there are extravagant cabra

He is not alone

I will prove to you

That also in my state

There are addicted individuals

As there are in Piancó

To throw oneself at a wild donkey

To hold the mocotó


Tie a knot in a snake

That there is a joke

I saw a cabra grab a peixeira

And it cut his hand

Ride a bull

Tame it, put on the yoke

I saw a cabra from Pitanga

Do that in Conceição

Clementino lived there

Who fought with Lampião


There are morena there, yes there are

Who have smiled too

That if someone goes there

They will stay and cry

Morena whom nature

Entrusted with beauty

In Piancó

Whoever goes there

Doesn't want to return
