Sertão Rock
Oxe! Oxe! Oxente!
Oxe! Oxe! Oxente!
Oxe! Oxe! Oxente!
Oxe! Oxe! Oxente!
Oxe! Oxe! Oxente!
Oxe! Oxe! Oxente! Yeah!
I'm going to make a very bold forró
Quite similar to this thing called rock and roll
An accordion with a distorted sound
A well-played bass drum and a triangle with a pedal
The country folks in jeans and t-shirts
Instead of donkeys, everyone on scooters
Instead of tobacco, we'll chew gum
And swap the licks for razors and knives
And before the dust rises
The drummer shouted: One, two, three!
Terrified, with wide eyes
The cowboy next to me said: Man! Did you see that?
From then on, all you could see in the hall
Oxe! Oxe! Oxente!
A man dancing xaxado, xote, and baião
Oxe! Oxe! Oxente!
Moving the foot, like putting out a cigarette
And swinging the wrist, as if lassoing cattle!
