Feira de Mangaio [English translation]

Rope tabaco, pack saddle

I have to sell it, who wants to buy it?

Corn sweet cake, corn bread and coconut candy

I have to sell it, who wants to buy it?

Peanut brittle, rosemary, cinnamon

Kit, get out of here! I got work to do

And then Zé 1 went in hurry to the birds's fair

And the birds started to fly everywhere

There were a small store in the corn of the street

Where the hawker was going to get animated

He was gonna take a sip of cachaça with roasted partridge

And look at Maria of the Juá's 2 stand

There was a small store on the corn of the street

Where the hawker was going to get uplifted

He was gonna take a shot of cachaça with roasted partridge

And look at Maria of the Juá's stand

Horse halter and rein

I can sell, who wants buy it?

Manioc flour, rapadura and soursop

I can sell, who wants to buy it?

Oil lamp wick, clay pot

Oh boy, I gotta go

I must go back

Work my land

like if I was an ox in an ox cart

Espadrilles with laces won't take me there

Because there is an accordion player in the corner of the street

Doing a great melody so we could dance

There is Zefa, Porcina's daughter doing lace

And the relentless sound of the bellows

Because there is an accordion player in the corner of the street

Doing a great melody so we could dance

There is Zefa, Porcina's daughter doing lace

And the relentless sound of the bellows

What a great forró! 3

He was gonna take a shot of cachaça with roasted partridge

And look at Maria of the Juá's stand

But there is an accordion player in the corner of the street

Doing a great melody so we could dance

There is Zefa, Porcina's daughter doing lace

And the relentless sound of the bellows

What a breathtaking accordion player!
