Como Tem Zé Na Paraíba

Vige, as Zé has
Joe from below, Joe from above
I disenchant with so much Zé
How is Zé there in Paraíba?

There at the fair, only Zé makes things boil
There are more Zé than catolé coconut
There are about 100 Zés in the City Hall alone
Another 100 in the trade have Zé

So many Zés like this are a disaster
I just know that Zé has to give up
This reminds me of a stutterer's stutter
What Zé said here?

Vige, as Zé has
Joe from below, Joe from above
I disenchant with so much Zé
As there is Zé there in Paraíba (but, come on!)

Vige, as Zé has
Joe from below, Joe from above
I disenchant with so much Zé

At a forró I went to in Cajazeira
The club sang and made a fuss
Because a drunkard in the middle of a binge
He spoke badly and swore at Zé's mother

Since there was only Zé in this buzz
There was soon such a fuss
Zé's mother was everyone's mother
In the hall, everyone who was Zé fought

Vige, as Zé has
Joe from below, Joe from above
I disenchant with so much Zé
How is Zé there in Paraíba?

Vige, as Zé has
Joe from below, Joe from above
I disenchant with so much Zé
How is Zé there in Paraíba?

It's Joe John, Joe Pestle and Joe Suitcase
Joe Black, Joe Big, Joe Quele
Everyone only has one recipe
When you want to have a child, there's only Zé

And with this frankness that I use
I repeat and whoever wants to get angry
So much Zé like this is an abuse
But the problem is that my name is Zé, okay!
