Full lyrics

Vim da Bahia pro Rio de Janeiro

Pra ganhar dinheiro

Desaforo não


Pau-de-arara é a vovozinha

Eu só viajo é de avião

Pau-de-arara é a vovozinha

Eu só viajo é de avião


Humorista de almanaque

Aprendiz de gozador

Eu vou lhe levar na Bahia

Você vai cair duro lá em Salvador

Vai escorregar no petróleo

Vou lhe cobrir de cacau

Se chegar falando em gíria

Você vai entrar no pau


Depois ô cabra-da-peste

Não me diga que o Nordeste

Só tem cabra mau


Depois ô cabra da peste

Não me diga que o Nordeste

Só tem cabra mau

Translation

I came from Bahia to Rio de Janeiro

To make money

No disrespect


The old lady is a truck

I only travel by plane

The old lady is a truck

I only travel by plane


A joke book comedian

A wannabe teaser

I'm going to take you to Bahia

You're going to drop dead in Salvador

You'll slip on the oil

I'll cover you in cocoa

If you start talking slang

You're going to get in trouble


Then, you rascal

Don't tell me that the Northeast

Only has bad guys


Then, you rascal

Don't tell me that the Northeast

Only has bad guys
