Feira Santarena
Coral e Orquestra Jovem Wilson Fonseca
Santarém Fair
1.
My land has patchouli
That perfumes the air and the cunhantã.
I can make balls out of sernambi
And flour? Only 'Cucurunã'!
CHORUS:
That's why I love you so much,
Flower of Tapajós, oh Santarém!
2.
Things like us, no one has them,
Nor dolls with such perfection.
And the ceramics of Santarém?
Everything is the work of artisans.
3.
For Saint John there's boi-bumbá,
Playing around the bonfire.
There's canjica, yes, and tarubá.
Look at my balloon rising to the sky.
4.
We have açaí, passion fruit,
Mango, muruci, abiu, cashew,
Piquiá, marí, taperebá,
Ata, sapoti, cupuaçu.
5.
What can I say about pajurá
Good fruit that only exists here,
And the special curimatá,
Fish even better than tambaqui?
6.
Oh giant blue, my Tapajós!
Amazon, you're phenomenal.
Cobra Grande will float fiercely:
No one should go there in the swamp.
7.
For good luck, huh? Muiraquitã!
I already bought one and have faith.
And it's also said to be a talisman
To see the Uirapuru. I'm not sure.
8.
I saw a big Boto killed with a harpoon,
But the main thing I found out later:
His eye is good, it's a sensation
To attract women... Get me two!
9.
If you're feeling very hot,
You can get, to fan yourself,
A thousand fans, of every color!
Come to Santarém, you'll like it!
