Full lyrics

Na margem do São Francisco, nasceu a beleza

E a natureza ela conservou

Jesus abençoou com sua mão divina

Pra não morrer de saudade

Vou voltar pra Petrolina


Do outro lado do rio tem uma cidade

Que na minha mocidade eu visitava todo dia

Atravessava a ponte ai que alegria

Chegava em Juazeiro, Juazeiro da Bahia


Hoje eu me lembro que no tempo de criança

Esquisito era a carranca e o apito do trem

Mas achava lindo quando a ponte levantava

E o vapor passava num gostoso vai e vem


Petrolina, Juazeiro

Juazeiro, Petrolina

Todas duas eu acho uma coisa linda

Eu gosto de Juazeiro e adoro Petrolina


Adelmario Coelho - Visita ao Trio Nordestino - Acústico

Translation

On the banks of the São Francisco, beauty was born

And nature preserved it

Jesus blessed it with his divine hand

So as not to die of saudade

I will return to Petrolina


On the other side of the river there's a city

That in my youth I visited every day

I crossed the bridge, oh what joy

I arrived in Juazeiro, Juazeiro of Bahia


Today I remember that in childhood

Strange was the carranca and the train's whistle

But I found it beautiful when the bridge lifted

And the steamboat passed in a pleasant back and forth


Petrolina, Juazeiro

Juazeiro, Petrolina

Both of them I find a beautiful thing

I like Juazeiro and I adore Petrolina
