Full lyrics
Chora ingazeira
Chora a nana
Moça namoradeira um dia passa amar
Conheci a guilhermina filha de chico simão
De tanto namorar terminou no barricão
Agora quer casar e não acha nenhum bobão
Conheci uma mocinha em noite de são joão
Namorou todos os rapazes no baile de simião
A turma se reunião e deram nela um bolachao
Conheci outra mocinha que vem lá do macapá
Pro rio de janeiro pensando que ia farpar
A turma pegou ela e levou lá pro ceará
Translation
Cry ingazeira tree
Cry nana
Flirty girl will one day come to love
I met Guilhermina, daughter of Chico Simão
From so much flirting, she ended up in the barricão
Now she wants to marry and can't find any fool
I met a young girl on São João night
She flirted with all the boys at Simião's ball
The group got together and gave her a smack
I met another young girl who comes from Macapá
To Rio de Janeiro thinking she would do well
The group caught her and took her to Ceará
