Paraíba

When the mud turned into stone
And Mandacaru dried up
When the ribaçã of thirst
Spread its wings and flew
That's when I left
Carrying my pain
Today I send a hug
To you, little one

Masculine Paraíba
Strong woman, yes sir

Oh my goodness
Who once snored in the princess's bed
Oh Paraíba
Strong woman, yes sir

Oh my goodness
My slingshot didn't break
Today I send
A hug to you, little one

Masculine Paraíba
Strong woman, yes sir

When the mud turned into stone
And Mandacaru dried up

When the ribaçã of thirst
Spread its wings and flew
That's when I left
Carrying my pain
Today I send a hug
To you, little one

Masculine Paraíba
Strong woman, yes sir

Oh, oh
