Xáreu Xerelete
Song Lyrics
No berimbau seu Suassuna
Alegrava a multidao
No pandeiro Ezequiel
Cantava com emoção
No atabaque Itapoan
Que batia pra valer
E o coro respondia
Que o peixe do mar
Xáreu xerelete
Que o peixe do mar
Xáreu xerelete
Que o peixe do mar
Xáreu xerelete
A vadiagem assim seguia
Com tamanha animação
A galera animada
Fazia o coro na palma da mão
Fazia o coro na palma da mão
Fazia o coro na palma da mão
Mais aquela brincadeira
Parecia não ter fim
Pois o dia já raiava
E ninguém arredava o pé dali
Foi então que Suassuna
Em sua louvação Cantou alto e bem claro
menino quem foi seu mestre?
Meu mestre foi Bimba
Lá de santo Amaro
Meu mestre foi Bimba
Lá de santo Amaro
Meu mestre foi Bimba
Lá de santo Amaro
English Translation
At the berimbau your Suassuna
Cheered the crowd
On the pandeiro Ezequiel
Sang with emotion
At the atabaque Itapoan
That really hit
And the choir answered
That sea fish
Xáreu xerelete
That sea fish
Xáreu xerelete
That sea fish
Xáreu xerelete
The loitering went on like this
With such excitement
The lively crowd
I used to sing the chorus
I used to sing the chorus
I used to sing the chorus
Another joke
It seemed to have no end
For the day was already breaking
And no one took their foot off there
It was then that Suassuna
In your praise He sang loud and clear
boy who was your master?
My master was Bimba
There from Santo Amaro
My master was Bimba
There from Santo Amaro
My master was Bimba
There from Santo Amaro
