Fui Passear No Norte

I Went for a Walk in the North

I stepped on the dry leaf
I saw it go chuá, chuá
I also stepped on the dry leaf
I saw it go chuá, chuá
Chuá, Chuá!
Chuá, Chuá Chuá, Chuá Chuá, Chuá Chuá, Chuá
I swear to God I'm not lying
With sincerity I will tell you why

Very tired of pagode
I sent myself to Ceará
But I went for a walk
I went for a walk in the North
I really liked it, I was lucky
I got to know Ceará, my Ceará
I met a woman from Ceará who liked me
Have patience with Ceará women, I don't want anything because
Ceará put Saint Anthony on the raft
Ceará put Saint Anthony on the raft

Friend, if you go to Recife
Bring me a yellow-bellied rifle
Also bring me a box of bullets
That fit the caliber of my gun
If you go to Bahia
Bring me a box of dum-dum bullets
I need ammunition
To load my gun and get them one by one
But I went for a walk

Hey Bahia!
Moemá got darker
The sea water wet you
The sun of Bahia burned you
Your body got darker, dark-skinned Bahian

Dark-skinned Bahian, I wanted to leave
And she asked me not to go
Saying if I left Serrinha
She would never be mine
So, I decided to stay
So as not to see my little Bahian cry
So as not to see my little Bahian cry

Mr. Chico Bento
Tuck in your shirt
Ordered by the sergeant of the first battalion
There was a blitz in the Juramento hill
It was a big commotion
It was a huge confusion
And I'm on patrol on the corner
Rubber baton can't be missing
I hit on top, hit in the middle, hit below
Ordered by the sergeant of the military police
But I'll be your yo-yo!

I'll be your yo-yo
You'll be my iá-iá
We'll prove a happy life far from here
There are only two things that can stop
You'll ask me to smile
My dear, what will it be
Look, I'll answer you well
The longing, the envy my dear or a love blow

Your look is telling me that you want to date me
But daddy doesn't want to let you, but daddy doesn't want to let you
But daddy doesn't want to let you, but daddy doesn't want to let you

A mansion to live in, come
Come young lady, come young lady, come young lady
A fancy car to drive
Come young lady, come young lady, come young lady
To parade for the Chief, come
Come young lady, come young lady, come young lady

I'll give you lots of affection, a thousand kisses I'll give you
But daddy doesn't want to let you, but daddy doesn't want to let you
But daddy doesn't want to let you, but daddy doesn't want to let you

Everyone will rhyme
Come young lady, come young lady, come young lady
I'll play my pandeiro
Come young lady, come young lady, come young lady
I'll samba lightly
Come young lady, come young lady, come young lady
I live only to adore you
Come young lady, come young lady, come young lady
I can't make mistakes
Come young lady, come young lady, come young lady
Come quickly to enchant me
Come young lady, come young lady, come young lady
Without wanting to leave me
Come young lady, come young lady, come young lady
I promise to love you
Come young lady, come young lady, come young lady
Hey Sereno, what's up
Come young lady, come young lady, come young lady
