Full lyrics
Maria Grande filha de Campina Grande
Na Paraíba é respeitada aonde anda
Trabalhadeira desconheço outra igual
Qualquer tipo de trabalho para ela é normal
Lavar roupa, ela sabe sim senhor
Cantar forró, ela sabe sim senhor
Costurar, ela sabe sim senhor
Lecionar, ela sabe sim senhor
Entrar na mata, ela sabe sim senhor
Eita mulher danada
Ela derruba pau de valor
Ela derruba pau
Ela derruba pau
Eita mulher danada
Entra na mata e derruba pau
Translation
Maria Grande, daughter of Campina Grande
In Paraíba, she is respected wherever she goes
A hard worker, I don't know another like her
Any type of work is normal for her
Wash clothes, she certainly knows how
Sing forró, she certainly knows how
Sew, she certainly knows how
Teach, she certainly knows how
Enter the forest, she certainly knows how
What a fierce woman
She fells valuable trees
She fells trees
She fells trees
What a fierce woman
She enters the forest and fells trees
