Full lyrics
Eu namorei uma tal de Joana
Cabrocha boa lá do cariri
Mais esta nega não era sincera
Dei uma carreira nela
Não se pode "..."
Pega a danada acostumada a pegar bode
Eu corri tanto que me deu uma fadiga
E o barbado que paquerou ela
Se valeu foi das canelas entoando esta cantiga
Corre Joana, no meio da jetirana
Pai não tem nada qualquer dia eu pego ela
Dou-lhe uma viga com galho de urtiga
Eu quero ver o tal paquerador
Com pena do seu amor
Repetir essa cantiga
Translation
I dated a girl named Joana
A good girl from Cariri
But this girl wasn't sincere
I gave her a chase
You can't "..."
She's used to being caught taking the blame
I ran so much that I got tired
And the bearded guy who flirted with her
Took advantage of his shins singing this song
Run Joana, in the middle of the jetirana
Dad doesn't have anything, any day I'll catch her
I'll give her a beam with a nettle branch
I want to see that flirt
Pitying his love
Repeating this song
