Full lyrics

Velho Novo Exu

(Luiz Gonzaga - Silvio Moacir de Araújo)

Já já, futuca seu Felipe

Vamos pro Araripe

Que os Gonzaga vão chegar

Já, já, te apeia Mané Bento

Amarra teu jumento

Pega Zefa pra dançar.............bis

A minha terra é pobre

Porém meu povo é nobre

Eu quero ver o meu velho novo Exu

Meu pé de mulungú

Que me traz recordação

Eu quero ver, Da. Ceça de Lulu

Descer de do caititu

Dando vivas ao São João

Translation

Old New Exu

(Luiz Gonzaga - Silvio Moacir de Araújo)

Right now, poke your Felipe

Let's go to Araripe

Because the Gonzagas are arriving

Right now, dismount Mané Bento

Tie up your donkey

Grab Zefa to dance.............repeat

My land is poor

But my people are noble

I want to see my old new Exu

My mulungu tree

That brings me memories

I want to see, Mrs. Ceça de Lulu

Coming down from the caititu

Giving cheers to Saint John

Right now, poke your Felipe

Let's go to Araripe

Because the Gonzagas are arriving

Right now, dismount Mané Bento

Tie up your donkey

Grab Zefa to dance.............repeat
