Lyrics

Quando eu vim do sertão
Seu môço, do meu Bodocó
A malota era um saco
E o cadeado era um nó
Só trazia a coragem e a cara
Viajando num pau-de-arara
Eu penei, mas aqui cheguei (bis)
Trouxe um triângulo, no matolão
Trouxe um gonguê, no matolão
Trouxe um zabumba dentro do matolão
Xóte, maracatu e baião
Tudo isso eu trouxe no meu matolão

Lyrics translation

When I came from the hinterland
Your môzo, from my Bodoco
The pouch was a bag
And the padlock was a knot
It only brought the courage and the face
Traveling on a macaw stick
I sifted, but here I came (bis)
I brought a triangle in the matolão.
I brought a gongu, in the matolão
I brought a zabumba inside the matolão
Xóte, maracatu and baião
All this I brought in my big man
