Full lyrics

O nordestino hoje é homem diferente

dos velhos tempos do cangaço e Lampião

Deixou de lado a mania de valente

Pois o progresso mudou tudo, meu irmão

Ele só fala no conflito do Oriente

O homem lá na lua foi grande a admiração

É a nova mentalidade

Que trouxe a televisão


Lá, todo mundo está informado muito bem

Do que acontece com os artistas por aí

E batem palmas quando no vídeo aparece

O Blota Júnior, o Chacrinha e a Bibi

Afirmam todos que o Brasil vence no México

E que a taça vem com Pelé e Tostão

Chamam até Jota Silvestre

O Príncipe da Televisão


E as mocinhas que viviam nas janelas

Hoje é só novelas e revistas em quadrinhos

Vivem sonhando com o Beto Rockfeller

O Cláudio Marzo, Nino, o Italianinho

Meu sertão, lendário de tristezas

Hoje é certeza de progresso e de alegria

Só se vê a rapaziada

Com o bigodão de Antonio Maria

Translation

The Northeasterner today is a different man

from the old times of cangaço and Lampião

He put aside the brave man's habit

Because progress changed everything, my brother

He only talks about the conflict in the East

The man on the moon was greatly admired

It's the new mentality

That television brought


There, everyone is very well informed

About what happens with the artists out there

And they clap when on the video appears

Blota Júnior, Chacrinha and Bibi

Everyone affirms that Brazil wins in Mexico

And that the cup comes with Pelé and Tostão

They even call Jota Silvestre

The Prince of Television


And the young girls who used to live in the windows

Today it's just soap operas and comic books

They live dreaming of Beto Rockfeller

Cláudio Marzo, Nino, o Italianinho

My sertão, legendary for sorrows

Today is a certainty of progress and joy

You only see the young crowd

With Antonio Maria's big mustache
