Forró do Zé Lagoa

If you haven't seen it, go see what a good thing it is
In Campina Grande, the forró of Zé Lagoa
If you haven't seen it, go see what a good thing it is
In Campina Grande, the forró of Zé Lagoa

At eight o'clock Zé do Beco, the accordionist
Turn on the lamp, give the orders to Juvenal
Mr. Zé Melado from Catô takes the first
And the game begins with respect and morals

There are good women in the Zé Pinheiro neighborhood
There are some guys from Ligeiro, all armed with knives
Good cachaça is sold in the reserved area
Mariquinha gives away special snacks for free

If you haven't seen it, go see what a good thing it is
In Campina Grande, the forró of Zé Lagoa
If you haven't seen it, go see what a great thing it is
In Campina Grande, the forró of Zé Lagoa

At half past ten people run around the yard
If it's not Corporal Vaqueiro, it's Corporal Boca-Mole
Search the people and take a bag of fishmongers
Arrest a street woman, go inside and have a drink

Beat up more than nine soldiers
Weak and scared goat in the corner, don't even move
And Zé Lagoa who was the owner of forró
He didn't braid it or tie a knot, he got hit and it became soft

If you haven't seen it, go see what a great thing it is
In Campina Grande, the forró of Zé Lagoa
If you haven't seen it, go see what a good thing it is
In Campina Grande, the forró of Zé Lagoa
