Full lyrics
Ê Ceará, que saudade eu tenho lá do meu lugar
Ê Ceará, daquelas morenas que deixei por lá
Ê Ceará, da praia da barra, mucuripe e iracema
Ê Ceará, até parece que eu tô vendo o mevimento por lá
O vento soprando e jangada chegando
Trazendo peixinhos pra gente compra
Balança coqueiro, balança a moçada
Balança os veleiros lá do alto mar
Eu na minha rede também balançando
Acompanhando o balanço do meu Ceará
Translation
Oh Ceará, how much I miss my place there
Oh Ceará, those dark-haired girls I left there
Oh Ceará, from Barra beach, Mucuripe and Iracema
Oh Ceará, it even seems like I'm seeing the movement there
The wind blowing and the raft arriving
Bringing little fish for us to buy
The coconut tree sways, the young people sway
The sailboats sway out on the high seas
Me in my hammock also swaying
Following the sway of my Ceará
Oh Ceará, how much I miss my place there
Oh Ceará, those dark-haired girls I left there
Oh Ceará, from Barra beach, Mucuripe and Iracema
Oh Ceará, it even seems like I'm seeing the movement there
