Full lyrics

Sou filho de pé de serra

do sertão queimado

me criei pisando em cobra

e vaquejando o gado

ando sete légua e tanto

pra dançar torrado

danço quatro noite inteira

esse pinicado...


O meu fraco é caça peba

E rastejar tatuInvocar no mameleiro,

derrubar zebu

pescar de rede e tarrafa

lá no Pageu

E dançar um tarrabufado em Caruaru


Sou nortista verdadeiro

Sou desconfiado

Bebo, danço, canto côco

E não sou assombrado

Pra todo lugar que eu vou

Levo o punhal de lado

E só dou surra de facão

Em cabra malcriado

Eu sou o Zé Paraíba

Venho lá de riba só pra trabalhar

Translation

I am a son of the foothills,

from the scorched backlands,

I grew up stepping on snakes

and herding cattle.

I walk seven leagues and more

to dance heatedly,

I dance four whole nights

this 'pinicado'...


My weakness is hunting 'peba'

And crawling for armadillos

Invoking at the mameleiro tree,

knocking down zebu

fishing with nets and cast nets

there in Pageu

And dancing a 'tarrabufado' in Caruaru


I am a true northerner,

I am wary.

I drink, dance, sing 'coco'

And I am not haunted.

Everywhere I go,

I carry a dagger on my side,

And I only whip with a machete

on rude guys

I am Zé Paraíba,

I come from up there just to work.
