A Dança do Catira

I picked up the guitar...
I picked up the viola...
But here first I will make the greeting
And to all who are present, I extend my hand
I will invite the guests to stomp their feet on the ground

Catira is a joyful dance
Catira is from the countryside
Catira is only played with viola and guitar
Oh, with viola and guitar (2x)

The Catireiro claps
Also stomps his foot on the ground
Catireiro dances joyfully with great satisfaction
Oh, with great satisfaction (2x)

Catira is only danced on a stage
You can't drag your feet
It has to be tap dancing
Oh, it has to be tap dancing (2x)

A clap and tap dancing
And then the 'vira vira'
The dance is done joyfully in our Catira
Oh, in our Catira (2x)
