Peguei Um Ita No Norte

Ai, ai, ai, ai
Goodbye, Belém in Pará
Caught a boat up north
Caught a boat up there in the north
To come live in Rio
Goodbye, my dad, my mom
Goodbye, Belém in Pará

Ai, ai, ai, ai
Goodbye, Belém in Pará
Ai, ai, ai, ai
Goodbye, Belém in Pará

Sold my stuff that I had
The rest I gave to keep
Maybe I'll come back next year
Maybe I'll stay there

Mom gave me advice
When I was boarding
My son, walk straight
So God can help you

I've been in Rio for a while
Never went back there
For almost ten years
Goodbye, Belém in Pará
