A Feira de Caruaru
Faz gosto a gente ver
De tudo que há no mundo
Nela tem pra vender
Na feira de Caruaru
Tem massa de mandioca
Batata assada, tem ovo cru
Banana, laranja, manga
Batata doce, queijo e caju
Cenoura, jabuticaba
Guiné, galinha, pato e peru
Tem bode, carneiro e porco
Se duvidar inté cururu
Tem cesto, balaio, corda
Tamanco, gréia, tem cuêi-tatu
Tem fumo, tem tabaqueiro
Feito de chifre de boi zebu
Caneco alcoviteiro
Peneira boa e mé de uruçu
Tem carça de arvorada
Que é pra matuto não andar nu
Tem rede, tem balieira
Mode menino caçar nambu
Maxixe, cebola verde
Tomate, cuentro, couve e chuchu
Armoço feito nas torda
Pirão mexido que nem angu
Mobilha de tamburete
Feita do tronco do mulungu
Tem louça, tem ferro velho
Sorvete de raspa que faz jaú
Gelada, cardo de cana
Fruta de parma e mandacaru
Bonecos de Vitalino
Que são conhecidos inté no Sul
De tudo que há no mundo
Tem na Feira de Caruaru
Translation
The Caruaru Fair
It's a pleasure to see
Everything there is in the world
It has for sale
At the Caruaru Fair
There's cassava dough
Baked potato, there's raw egg
Banana, orange, mango
Sweet potato, cheese and cashew
Carrot, jabuticaba
Guinea fowl, chicken, duck and turkey
There's goat, sheep and pork
If you doubt it, even cururu
There's basket, hamper, rope
Clog, gréia, there's cuêi-tatu
There's tobacco, there's snuffbox
Made from zebu bull horn
Gossiping mug
Good sieve and uruçu honey
There are sturdy pants
So that a countryman doesn't walk naked
There's hammock, there's balieira
So a boy can hunt nambu
Gherkin, green onion
Tomato, cilantro, collard greens and chayote
Lunch made in the torda
Pirão stirred like angu
Stool furniture
Made from the mulungu trunk
There's crockery, there's scrap iron
Scraped ice cream that makes jaú
Cold drink, sugarcane juice
Parma fruit and mandacaru
Vitalino's dolls
Which are known even in the South
Everything there is in the world
Is at the Caruaru Fair
