Full lyrics
Cochilou cachimbo cai
Zé bobão
Cochilou cachimbo cai
Cochilou cachimbo cai
Você viu
Cochilou cachimbo cai
Você deixou a nega
dando sopa no salão
Zé bobão, cochilou cachimbo cai
Logo que você saiu
Outro já passou a mão
Você viu, cochilou cachimbo cai
Cochilou cachimbo cai
Zé bobão
Cochilou cachimbo cai
Cochilou cachimbo cai
Você viu
Cochilou cachimbo cai
O cabra no forro
Tem que ser vivo pra chuchu
Se for Zé angu não se distrai
Se ganhar mulher de outro
É aquele sururu
Apanha mais do que filho sem pai
Cochilou cachimbo cai
Zé bobão
Cochilou cachimbo cai
Cochilou cachimbo cai
Você viu
Cochilou cachimbo cai
Tem nega no salão
Que só arruma confusão
A gente chama pra dançar, ela não vai
Se a gente leva dama
Ta assim de gavião
Nego entra com ela, mas não sai
Cochilou cachimbo cai
Zé bobão
Cochilou cachimbo cai
Cochilou cachimbo cai
Você viu
Cochilou cachimbo cai
Translation
If you doze off, your pipe falls
Zé big dummy
If you doze off, your pipe falls
If you doze off, your pipe falls
You saw
If you doze off, your pipe falls
You left the woman
making herself available in the dance hall
Zé big dummy, if you doze off, your pipe falls
As soon as you left
Another already made a move
You saw, if you doze off, your pipe falls
If you doze off, your pipe falls
Zé big dummy
If you doze off, your pipe falls
If you doze off, your pipe falls
You saw
If you doze off, your pipe falls
The guy at the forró
Has to be very sharp
If he's a Zé angu, he doesn't get distracted
If you take another man's woman
It's a big commotion
He gets beaten more than a fatherless child
If you doze off, your pipe falls
Zé big dummy
If you doze off, your pipe falls
If you doze off, your pipe falls
You saw
If you doze off, your pipe falls
There are women in the dance hall
Who only cause trouble
We call them to dance, they don't go
If we bring a lady
There are so many hawks
A guy goes in with her, but doesn't leave
If you doze off, your pipe falls
Zé big dummy
If you doze off, your pipe falls
If you doze off, your pipe falls
You saw
If you doze off, your pipe falls
