Full lyrics

Joá sem espinho

Quem plantou foi meu padrinho


Na praça de Juazeiro

Do Padim-cicero Romão

Existe um grande segredo

Nem todos lá sabem não

Eu vou contar pra vocês

Por favor preste atenção


No meio daquela avenida

Existe uma plantação

Cujo o nome simboliza

Toda a sua gratidão

Que essa mesma foi plantada

Por Padim-cicero Romão


Estou falando a verdade

Pergunte a qualquer romeiro

Se não foi essa planta que trouxe

O nome de juazeiro

Translation

Thornless Joá

My godfather planted it


In the Juazeiro square

Of Father Cicero Romão

There is a great secret

Not everyone there knows

I will tell you all

Please pay attention


In the middle of that avenue

There is a plantation

Whose name symbolizes

All his gratitude

That this same one was planted

By Father Cicero Romão


I'm telling the truth

Ask any pilgrim

If it wasn't this plant that brought

The name of Juazeiro
