A Feira de Caruaru

Luiz Gonzaga Luiz Gonzaga

The Caruaru Fair

The Caruaru Fair
It's a joy to see
Everything in the world
You can buy it there
At the Caruaru fair

There's cassava dough
Baked potatoes, raw eggs
Bananas, oranges, mangoes
Sweet potatoes, cheese, and cashew
Carrots, jabuticaba
Guinea fowl, chicken, duck, and turkey
There's goat, ram, and pork
If you doubt, even a cururu

There's baskets, bags, rope
Wooden shoes, a gréia, and a cuêi-tatu
There's tobacco, a tobacco maker
Made from zebu bull horn
A gossiping mug
A good sieve and honey from uruçu
There's a tree trunk skirt
So the country folk don't walk around nude

There's hammocks, there's a balieira
For the kids to hunt nambu
Maxixe, green onions
Tomatoes, cilantro, kale, and chayote
Lunch made in the torda
Stirred porridge like angu
Furniture made from a tamburete
Crafted from the trunk of the mulungu

There's dishes, there's junkyard stuff
Shaved ice that makes jaú
Cold drinks, sugarcane juice
Fruit from parma and mandacaru
Vitalino dolls
Known even down South
Everything in the world
You can find at the Caruaru fair
