Full lyrics

Não diga isso

Largue de ser ardiloso

Não dou um pão de cruzado

Por um cabra mentiroso


Todo forró

Que este cabra foi no norte

Teve briga e teve morte

E é isto que me admira

Tudo é mentira

Deste sujeito pelintra

Porque de faca na cinta

Ninguém dança em Guarabira


Tudo é mentira

Deste cavalo de Troia

Pois bem sabe este pinóia

Que nortista é gente boa

Por coisa atoa não se mata uma lacraia

Mas um cabra desta laia

Quem matá-lo Deus perdoa

Translation

Don't say that

Stop being cunning

I wouldn't give a cruzado bread

For a lying fellow


Every forró

That this fellow went to in the North

There was a fight and there was death

And this is what amazes me

Everything is a lie

From this scoundrel

Because with a knife at the waist

Nobody dances in Guarabira


Everything is a lie

From this Trojan horse

For this jerk knows very well

That people from the North are good people

For a trivial thing, one doesn't kill a centipede

But a fellow of this kind

Whoever kills him, God forgives
