Ciranda das Turcas Encantadas

Rondina
Beyond the crescent moon
Beyond the edge of the step
Over the fine sands
Death yields to the embrace
The night wind tries
We tame the gale
The boat comes from Turkey
Bringing the ebbing tide
In Maranhão it begins
The flower that enchants Bahia
Twirling the skirt of the day
Bringing the love that doesn't leave

Rondina dances in a circle
And spins, and spins
For the night deserves more

Jarina
I am a rose girl
I live in the flower of the juçareira
And in the song of the washerwomen
From the rivers of Maranhão
I came from Sabá Beach
To dance in this hall
My father brought me from the East
From the lands of the great sultan
To play with my people
I arrive with this song
Toya Jarina is a flower, a sea flower
She is an orange blossom, a sea flower

Mariana
Beautiful native girl
Your diadem shines brighter than the sun
Give me a sip of Jurema
Beautiful brunette from Lençol Beach
I sing of your arrival
From the land of moonlight
To dawn the morning
Native sailor
Happy is the one who saw you
The most beautiful enchanted one in Brazil
The most charming princess
Whoever saw didn't forget
The rose of enchantment bloomed

She is a sailor, she is a sailor
She is enchanted from the Brazilian navy
She is a sailor, she is a sailor
She is rebellious from the Brazilian navy
