Forró do Zé Lagoa

If you haven't seen it, go see what a good thing
In Campina Grande, Zé Lagoa's forró (2x)

At eight o'clock Zé do Beco, the accordionist
Lights the lantern, gives orders to Juvenal
Mr. Zé Melado do Catô takes the first one
And the fun begins with respect and morality
There are good women from the Zé Pinheiro neighborhood
There are some guys from Ligeiro all armed with knives
In a private room, good cachaça is sold
Mariquinha gives a free special appetizer

If you haven't seen it, go see what a good thing
In Campina Grande, Zé Lagoa's forró (2x)

At ten-thirty people run in the yard
If it's not Cabo Vaqueiro, it's Cabo Boca-Mole
They search the people and take a bag of knives
They arrest the rowdy women, go inside and take a sip
They beat with more than nine soldiers
Scared and frightened men don't even move in the corner
And Zé Lagoa, who was the owner of the forró
Didn't braid or tie, he got beaten until he was weak

If you haven't seen it, go see what a good thing
In Campina Grande, Zé Lagoa's forró (2x)
