Full lyrics
Eu fui pra limoeiro e nem sei quando volto lá
Porque não encontrei Jackson do Pandeiro
Nem a Almira Castilho estava por lá
Aquele que era o maior forrozeiro
E tão cedo não podia nos abandonar
Inteligentemente ele escreveu seu nome
Desde o ipisilone ao bê a ba
E cantava A E I se foi para nunca mais voltar
E cantava A E I o saudade de lascar
Foi mestre dos ritmistas e também rei da divisão
E separava os versos como um analista
Sua voz era afinada num diapasão
E tecnicamente era um malabarista
Atrasava dois compassos após a introdução
E ritmicamente chegava na hora
Antes do coro entrar pra cantar o refrão
Translation
I went to Limoeiro and I don't even know when I'll be back there
Because I didn't find Jackson do Pandeiro
Nor was Almira Castilho there
The one who was the greatest forrozeiro
And so early he couldn't abandon us
Intelligently he wrote his name
From the ipsilon to the be a ba
And he sang A E I he left to never return
And he sang A E I oh longing to hurt
He was master of the rhythmists and also king of division
And he separated the verses like an analyst
His voice was tuned to a tuning fork
And technically he was a juggler
He delayed two measures after the introduction
And rhythmically he arrived on time
Before the chorus comes in to sing the refrain
And he sang A E I he left to never return
And he sang A E I oh longing to hurt
