Ponta de Areia

Sand point, period
from Bahia-Minas natural road
That connected Minas from the port to the sea,
Railway tracks were ordered to be removed
Old train driver with his cap
Reminds the cheerful people who came to court
Steam train no longer sings
For girls, flowers, windows, and yards
In the empty square, a cry, a sigh
Forgotten houses, widows at the gates
