Full lyrics
Chegaram alegres, cantantes
Gracinha cheirando a fulô
Vi anil, Sol no azul, Guamá
Cristais na voz do cantador
Que trazia no peito a nação amazônica
Pororoca se ouvia na pele do tambor
A chuva caia banhada de Lua
Os meninos na rua em plena algazarra
A Lua caia acarinhando a rua
E os meninos pra Lua faziam uma farra
A natureza sorrindo
Os arvoredos no cio
Banhando os lábios do rio
E as ramas da ribanceira
Os olhos d’água jorrando
Como se lavassem panos
Nos planos das lavadeiras
Translation
They arrived joyful, singing
Gracinha smelling of flower
I saw indigo, Sun in the blue, Guamá
Crystals in the singer's voice
Who carried in his chest the Amazonian nation
The Pororoca was heard on the drum's skin
The rain fell bathed in Moonlight
The boys in the street in full revelry
The Moon fell caressing the street
And the boys made a party for the Moon
Nature smiling
The groves in bloom
Bathing the river's lips
And the branches of the riverbank
The water springs gushing
As if washing cloths
In the plans of the washerwomen
