Full lyrics

Cumadre vai lá dentro vai chamar o zé

(veja que eu não sou de briga, já vou dar no pé)


Chegue aqui perto de mim

Olhe no portão

Veja lá quem vem entrando com rifle na mão

É o gurisco da morte com o zé do bicão

É o chico bom de foice com o zé do facão


Eles tão me procurando dentro do bueiro

Que se hoje ele me apanha vou virar pandeiro

Eu estou desprevenido e não sou de briga

Pra ficar com minhas costas mole igual barriga

Esses homem onde chegam procurando o zeca.

Pegaram o zé do angar e deixaram pitanga

Rasgaram o meu palito e só deixaram as mangas

Deram um toque no narcizo e no zé pitanga

Translation

Godmother, go inside, go call Zé

(See that I'm not one for fighting, I'm already leaving)


Come here close to me

Look at the gate

See who's coming in with a rifle in hand

It's Gurisco of death with Zé of Bicão

It's Chico good with a scythe with Zé of the big knife


They are looking for me inside the sewer

If they catch me today, I'll turn into a tambourine

I am unprepared and I'm not one for fighting

To have my back soft like a belly

These men where they arrive looking for Zeca.

They caught Zé of Angar and left Pitanga

They tore my suit and only left the sleeves

They gave a touch to Narcizo and Zé Pitanga
