Iracema

Iracema, I never saw you again
Iracema, my great love has gone
I cried, I cried in pain because
Iracema, my great love was you

Iracema, I always used to say
Be careful crossing these streets
I would say, but you wouldn't listen
Iracema, you crossed against the traffic

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

Iracema, twenty days were left for our wedding, we were going to get married
You crossed São João street, a car came, hit you, pinned you to the ground
You were taken to the hospital
The driver wasn't at fault, Iracema
Patience

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