Take Me Back To Piauí

Hey hey, dee dee, take me back to Piauí
Hey hey, dee dee, take me back to Piauí
Hey hey, dee dee, take me back to Piauí
Hey hey, dee dee, take me back to Piauí

Goodbye tropical Paris, goodbye Brigitte Bardot
Champagne made me sick, caviar's got me feeling low
Simonal was right, in the heart of Patropi
I’m smart too, I’ll be living in Piauí!

Hey hey, dee dee, take me back to Piauí
Hey hey, dee dee, take me back to Piauí

In my hometown, there’s a wild guy like no other
There’s Juca, there’s Teixeirinha, and also dear Hebe, my mother
There’s apples, oranges, and figs
Bananas, who hasn’t had?
Mango? No way, that’s a danger
Those who tried it nearly died!

Hey hey, dee dee, take me back to Piauí
Hey hey, dee dee, take me back to Piauí

I’m changing my perspective, switching up my job
'Cause now the trend is being an artist
Being a judge on TV, oh my God
Bathing with just a bowl
Eating jackfruit every month
Hallelujah, hallelujah, I’ll die on BR-3!

Hey hey, dee dee, take me back to Piauí (everybody)
Hey hey, dee dee, take me back to Piauí (2x)
My God, my God, take me back to Piauí
