Lyrics
Quando eu vim do sertão seu moço
Do meu bodocó
Meu malote era um saco
E o cadeado era o nó
Só trazia a coragem e a cara
Viajando num pau de arara
Eu penei, mas aqui cheguei (2x)
Trouxe o triângulo
Trouxe o gonguê
Trouxe o zabumba
Dentro do matulê
Xote, maracatu e baião
Tudo isso eu trouxe no meu matulão
Lyrics translation
When I came from the hinterland your boy
From my bodoco
My pouch was a bag
And the lock was the knot
It only brought the courage and the face
Traveling on a macaw stick
I sifted, but here I came (2x)
Brought the Triangle
I brought the gongue.
I brought zabumba.
Inside the matulê
Xote, maracatu and baião
All this I brought in my big guy
