Peguei um Ita no norte

There I go...
I'm carried away by the sea of seduction
I'm just another adventurer
Heading to Rio de Janeiro
Goodbye Belém do Pará
One day I'll come back, my father
Don't cry, for I'll smile
Happiness, the old Ita will depart!

Hey, in the sway of the waves, I go
In the sea, I cast away the longing, love
Time brings hope and anxiety,
I sail in search of happiness

At every port I pass
I review and portray in fantasy
Culture, folklore, and habits
With that, I rebuild my joy
I arrive in Rio de Janeiro
Land of samba, mulattoes, and soccer
I live day by day
Wrapped in the magic
Of your carnival

Heart explodes
In the greatest happiness
My Salgueiro is beautiful
Infecting and shaking up this city
