Ponto de Baianos - Zé do Coco

Hail the people of Bahia
It's for Bahia, father
Saravá, Zé do Coco!

In Bahia there is a sorcerer man.
He's famous for his magic
They say he never dies.

He was slashed at the tip of a knife
He took a precise bullet
But he came back from death.

He was ambushed, but disappeared into the woods
He was a prisoner, but escaped from the bars
They say he's a wizard and has a protected body.

Zé do Coco is good at talking
And even fooled death.

He only left when he thought it was time.
He missed it and that's why he came back
He comes to the yard to help at any time
Yesterday he was a wizard, today he is a doctor.
