Full lyrics

Sou de São Paulo

E tenho orgulho de dizer o que eu sou

E toco forró, porque toco por amor

E do nordeste eu tenho um pouco de lá

Sou Pernambuco

E sou da terra do meu velho mestre lua

E faço forró até no meio da rua

Se for preciso para vida melhorar

Da Paraíba

Eu conheci o mestre Biliu de Campina

E me inspiro em seus versos, suas rimas

Por que eu sei que tenho muito o eu aprender

O Abc do sertão eu quero ter

O Abc do sertão eu quero ter

No Ceará não tem disso não

Bate zabumba bumba bumba no meu coração

Eu quero ver o dedilhado da sanfona

O tinguilingue do triangulo

Pro meu povo balançar

Que eu sou são Paulo, Pernambuco, Paraíba

Ceara é minha rima e canto para o mundo inteiro

Que meu nordeste é o povo brasileiro

Ê forró

É pra quem tem sensibilidade

Todos vejam só

Translation

I'm from São Paulo

And I'm proud to say what I am

And I play forró, because I play for love

And from the Northeast, I have a little bit of there

I'm from Pernambuco

And I'm from the land of my old master, the moon

And I play forró even in the middle of the street

If it's necessary to make life better

From Paraíba

I met the master Biliu de Campina

And I'm inspired by his verses, his rhymes

Because I know I have a lot to learn

The ABCs of the backlands, I want to have

The ABCs of the backlands, I want to have

In Ceará, there's nothing like that

The zabumba beats, boom boom boom, in my heart

I want to see the fingering on the accordion

The tinguilingue of the triangle

For my people to sway

Because I'm São Paulo, Pernambuco, Paraíba

Ceará is my rhyme and I sing to the whole world

That my Northeast is the Brazilian people

Hey, forró

It's for those who have sensitivity

Everyone, just look
