Full lyrics
Abandonamos nossa terra
Pra viajar pelo pais
Lembrando coisas do nordeste
Pra vê se somos feliz
Cearense é bom na rede
Piauiense é bom no gado
Carioca e bom no samba
E nos bamba no xaxado
Valdemar ta com 3 filhas
Todas 3 quer se casar
Uma é minha a outra é sua
Leva a outra juvenal
Valdemar ta com 3 filhas
Todas 3 são la do sul
Uma é minha e outra do gordinho
E leva outra seu mumu
Translation
We abandoned our land
To travel through the country
Remembering things from the northeast
To see if we are happy
Someone from Ceará is good in a hammock
Someone from Piauí is good with cattle
Someone from Rio is good at samba
And we excel at xaxado
Valdemar has 3 daughters
All 3 want to get married
One is mine, the other is yours
Take the other, Juvenal
Valdemar has 3 daughters
All 3 are from the south
One is mine and the other is the chubby guy's
And take the other, Mr. Mumu
