Pau de Arara

When I came from the backlands
Sir, from my Bodocó
The bundle was a bag
And the padlock was a knot

I only brought courage and my face
Traveling on an arara's pole
I struggled, but I arrived here
I struggled, but I arrived here

I brought a triangle, in the bundle
I brought a gong, in the bundle
I brought a zabumba inside the bundle
Xote, maracatu, and baião
All of this I brought in my bundle

When I came from the backlands
Sir, from my Bodocó
The bundle was a bag
And the padlock was a knot

I only brought courage and my face
Traveling on an arara's pole
I struggled, but I arrived here
I struggled, but I arrived here

I brought a triangle, in the bundle
I brought a gong, in the bundle
I brought a zabumba inside the bundle
Xote, maracatu, and baião
All of this I brought in my bundle

I brought a triangle, in the bundle
I brought a gong, in the bundle
I brought a zabumba inside the bundle
Xote, maracatu, and baião
All of this I brought in my bundle

When I came from the backlands
Sir, from my Bodocó
The bundle was a bag
And the padlock was a knot

I only brought courage and my face
Traveling on an arara's pole
I struggled, but I arrived here
I struggled, but I arrived here
But I arrived here
