Pedra do Sal
Teófilo Lima
Rock of Salt
I heard about a beautiful island
A piece of rock of salt
With hidden treasures and a lighthouse
Bits of a liquid wonder
Struggling against the rock and the sun
Making this marriage the salt
And so it was made, and so the rock was born
The rock and the sun
The rock, the sea, and the sun
Thus the rock was made
The rock and the sun
I heard about a beautiful island
A piece of rock of salt
With hidden treasures and a lighthouse
Bits of a liquid wonder
Struggling against the rock and the sun
Making this marriage the salt
And so it was made, and so the rock was born
The rock and the sun
The rock, the sea, and the sun
Thus the rock was made
The rock and the sun
One day I heard about a beautiful island
With Parnaíba always embracing it
Surrounding it, kissing it to the sea
One day I went to that beautiful island
And saw it’s more beautiful than in the news
I saw that everyone, every day has the rock of salt
I saw that everyone, Parnaíba has the rock of salt
And one day you’ll go to the rock of salt
I saw that everyone, every day has the rock of salt
The rock and the sun
The rock, the sea, and the sun
