Full lyrics

Dona terezinha avise o pessoal

Saiu do pajeú muito em breve volto lá


Daqui do rio eu vou ate o maranhão

Do piauí eu vou ate o ceara

Do crato eu vou a missão velho e juazeiro


O severina avise ao povo lá do área

Eu to solteiro e to doidinho pra casar


Eu vou levando um sanfona e um violão

Umas cantigas que aprendi aqui no sul


E quero vê aquelas farras caprichadas

Sobre a lua prateada do meu velho pajeú

Translation

Mrs. Terezinha, tell the people

I left Pajeú, I'll be back there very soon


From here in Rio I'll go to Maranhão

From Piauí I'll go to Ceará

From Crato I'll go to Missão Velha and Juazeiro


Severina, tell the people there in the area

I'm single and I'm crazy to get married


I'm taking an accordion and a guitar

Some songs I learned here in the south


And I want to see those elaborate parties

Under the silver moon of my old Pajeú
