Full lyrics

Eu vou pro Crato

Vou matar minha saudade

Ver minha morena

Reviver nossa amizade


Eu vou pro Crato

Tomar banho na nascente

Na subida do Lameiro

Tomo uns trago de aguardente


Eu vou pro Crato

Comer arroz com pequi

Feijão com rapadura

Farinha do Cariri


Eu vou pro Crato

Vou matar minha saudade

Ver minha morena

Reviver nossa amizade


Eu vou pro Crato

Pois a coisa melhorou

A luz de Paulo Afonso

O Cariri valorizou


Eu vou pro Crato

Já não fico mais aqui

Cratinho de açucar

Coração do Cariri


Eu vou pro Crato

Vou matar minha saudade

Ver minha morena

Reviver nossa amizade


Eu vou pro Crato

Vou pra casa de seu Pedro

Seu Felício é velho macho

Tô com Pedro, tô sem medo


Eu vou pro Crato

Vou viver no Cariri

Cratinho de açucar

Tijolo de buriti

Translation

I'm going to Crato

I'm going to kill my saudade

To see my brunette

To revive our friendship


I'm going to Crato

To bathe in the spring

On the climb of Lameiro

I'll have some sips of aguardente


I'm going to Crato

To eat rice with pequi

Beans with rapadura

Flour from Cariri


I'm going to Crato

I'm going to kill my saudade

To see my brunette

To revive our friendship


I'm going to Crato

Because things got better

The light of Paulo Afonso

Cariri gained value


I'm going to Crato

I won't stay here anymore

Cratinho de açucar

Heart of Cariri


I'm going to Crato

I'm going to kill my saudade

To see my brunette

To revive our friendship


I'm going to Crato

I'm going to Seu Pedro's house

Seu Felício is an old tough guy

I'm with Pedro, I'm without fear


I'm going to Crato

I'm going to live in Cariri

Cratinho de açucar

Buriti brick
