Vapor Da Paraíba

The steam howled in Paraíba,
I cry, I cry, Grandma.
His smoke in Madureira,
And I cry.

The steam howled, whee, whee.
Oh, hey, hey, hey,
Oh, hey, hey, hey.

When I step into a jongo and start to sing
Hold on, Iôiô and Iáiá
Soon I start to remember my dear grandma's voice
Hold on, Iáiá

Play it, folks, this jongo that I want to hear
Hold on, Iôiô and Iáiá
In this sweet rhythm, I'm gonna lose myself
The steam howled, whee, whee.
