Full lyrics
Antes de eu morrer
Eu vou rever Belém do Pará
Comer bacuri, beber açaí e o tacacá
Quero acompanhar o sírio
Da virgem de Nazaré
Levando uma família a pé
A igreja da Sé
Depois farrear
No arraial de Nazaré
Translation
Before I die
I'm going to revisit Belém do Pará
Eat bacuri, drink açaí and tacacá
I want to follow the sírio
Of the virgin of Nazaré
Taking a family on foot
To the Sé church
Then party
At the arraial of Nazaré
