Full lyrics

Quem vai a Belém do Pará,

desde a hora em que sai

não se esquece de lá,

quer voltar.


Lembrar o açaí, o tacacá,

que saudade que dá

de Belém do Pará!


Orar na Matriz de Belém,

conversar com alguém,

como é bom recordar!


Jesus em Belém foi nascer,

eu quisera morrer

em Belém do Pará.


Tá aqui tucupi,

tem mais o jambu,

também camarão.

Quem quer tacacá?

Translation

Whoever goes to Belém do Pará,

from the moment they leave

doesn't forget that place,

wants to return.


To remember the açaí, the tacacá,

what a deep longing it brings

for Belém do Pará!


To pray at Matriz de Belém,

to talk with someone,

how good it is to remember!


Jesus was born in Belém,

I would wish to die

in Belém do Pará.


Tucupi is here,

there's also jambu,

also shrimp.

Who wants tacacá?
