Full lyrics
"Olê muié rendeira
Olê muié rendá
Chorou por mim não fica
Soluçou vai pro borná."
Assim era que cantava os cabras de Lampião
Dançando e xaxando nos forró do sertão
Entrando numa cidade ao sair dum povoado
Cantando a rendeira se danavam no xaxado
Eu que me criei na pisada
Vendo os cangaceirus da pisada
Danço com sucesso na pisada
De Lampião
Olha a pisada.tum tum tum tum(3x)
Olha a pisada
De Lampião
Em pernambuco ele nasceu
Lá no sergipe ele morreu
O seu reinado a ninguém deu
Mas o xaxado
Tem que ser meu
Tem
Tem que ser meu
Tem
Tem que ser meu
Translation
Olê woman lacemaker
Olê woman lacemaker
Cried for me, don't stay
Sobbed, go to the borná.
That's how Lampião's cabras sang
Dancing and xaxando in the forró of the sertão
Entering a city upon leaving a village
Singing the rendeira, they went wild in the xaxado
I who grew up in the footwork
Seeing the cangaceirus of the footwork
I dance successfully in the footwork
Of Lampião
Look at the footwork.tum tum tum tum(3x)
Look at the footwork
Of Lampião
In Pernambuco he was born
There in Sergipe he died
He gave his reign to no one
But the xaxado
Has to be mine
It must
Has to be mine
It must
Has to be mine
