Iracema

Iracema, I never saw you again
Iracema, my great love, went away
I cried, I cried in pain because
Iracema, my great love was you

Iracema, I always said
Be careful crossing these streets
I spoke, but you didn't listen to me, no
Iracema, you crossed against the traffic

And today she lives up in the sky
And she lives close to our Lord
I only keep as memories your socks and shoes
Iracema, I lost your picture

Iracema, twenty days were missing for our wedding
That we were going to get married
You crossed São João street
A car came, hit you and pinned you to the ground
The driver wasn't at fault, Iracema
You crossed against the traffic

And today she lives up in the sky
And she lives close to our Lord
I only keep as memories your socks and shoes
Iracema, I lost your picture
