Ponta de Areia
Milton Nascimento
Tip of the Sand
Tip of the Sand, period
From Bahia-Minas, natural road
That connected Minas to the port, to the sea
They ordered to tear up the railway
Old train driver with his cap
Reminds the cheerful people who came to court
The 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
