Full lyrics
Aqui vou deixar meu coração
Adeus Vitória de Santo Antão
Vem gente até de Recife
Prás novena de Vitória
Prá comer rolinha assada
Ribançã frita na hora
As ruas fica intupida
De gente que vem de fora
São nove dias de festa
Quando acaba a gente chora
Lá na torda do Lotero
Tem tudo que a gente quer
Chá de burro, sarrabúio
Torresmo, sarapaté
Tem tapioca de côco
Rosário de Catolé
Aprendi até as musgas
Dos toque dos carrocé
Translation
Here I will leave my heart
Goodbye Vitória de Santo Antão
People come even from Recife
For Vitória's novena
To eat roasted dove
Ribançã fried on the spot
The streets get clogged
With people who come from outside
There are nine days of celebration
When it ends, we cry
There at Lotero's stall
There's everything we want
Donkey tea, sarrabúio
Pork rinds, sarapaté
There's coconut tapioca
Rosário de Catolé
I even learned the songs
Of the touches of the carousel
