Full lyrics
Ô Maria pegue o jegue
Bota a cangáia ligeiro
Bote os trem no caçuá } bis
E vamo pro Juazeiro
De Juazeiro a Crato
É romeiro só
De Crato a Bodocó
É romeiro só
De Salgueiro a Cabrobó
É romeiro só
De Arcoverde a Maceió
É romeiro só
Translation
Oh Maria, get the donkey
Put the pack saddle on quickly
Put the things in the basket } bis
And let's go to Juazeiro
From Juazeiro to Crato
It's only pilgrims
From Crato to Bodocó
It's only pilgrims
From Salgueiro to Cabrobó
It's only pilgrims
From Arcoverde to Maceió
It's only pilgrims
