Vitalino Centenário
It all began
At Alto do Moura
In the year 1909, Vitalino was born
A prodigious boy
He became a master
In the art of making clay dolls
He became famous
Kneading clay
Modeling pieces to sell at the fair
Without knowing the day he would cross borders
From clay grew the idea of his enchanted world
What he shaped, the people bought amazed
It all began
At Alto do Moura
In the year 1909, Vitalino was born
A prodigious boy
He became a master
In the art of making clay dolls
He became famous
The dolls are many
And speak of everything that is northeastern
Today the centenary master has fulfilled his destiny
One hundred years in art
One hundred years of skill
One hundred years of glory
Vitalino is gone but his name remains in history
It all began at Alto do Moura
In the year 1909, Vitalino was born
A prodigious boy
He became a master
In the art of making clay dolls
He became famous
