Full lyrics
Convidei a comadre Sebastiana
Pra cantar e xaxar na Paraíba
Ela veio com uma dança diferente
E pulava que só uma guariba
E gritava a, e, i, o, u, ipsilone
Já cansada no meio da brincadeira
E dançando fora do compasso
Segurei Sebastiana pelo braço
E gritei não faça sujeira
O xaxado esquentou na gafieira
Sebastiana não deu mais fracasso
E gritava a, e, i, o, u, ipsilone
Convidei a comadre Sebastiana
Pra cantar e xaxar na Paraíba
Ela veio com uma dança diferente
E pulava que só uma guariba
E gritava a, e, i, o, u, ipsilone
Já cansada no meio da brincadeira
E dançando fora do compasso
Segurei Sebastiana pelo braço
E gritei não faça sujeira
O xaxado esquentou na gafieira
Sebastiana não deu mais fracasso
E gritava a, e, i, o, u, ipsilone
Mas gritava a, e, i, o, u, ipsilone
E gritava a, e, i, o, u, ipsilone
Translation
I invited godmother Sebastiana
To sing and xaxar in Paraíba
She came with a different dance
And jumped like only a howler monkey
And she shouted a, e, i, o, u, ipsilon
Already tired in the middle of the fun
And dancing out of rhythm
I held Sebastiana by the arm
And shouted don't make a mess
The xaxado heated up in the dance hall
Sebastiana didn't fail anymore
And she shouted a, e, i, o, u, ipsilon
I invited godmother Sebastiana
To sing and xaxar in Paraíba
She came with a different dance
And jumped like only a howler monkey
And she shouted a, e, i, o, u, ipsilon
Already tired in the middle of the fun
And dancing out of rhythm
I held Sebastiana by the arm
And shouted don't make a mess
The xaxado heated up in the dance hall
Sebastiana didn't fail anymore
And she shouted a, e, i, o, u, ipsilon
But she shouted a, e, i, o, u, ipsilon
And she shouted a, e, i, o, u, ipsilon
