A Feira de Caruaru
Faz gosto a gente vê
De tudo que há no mundo
Nela tem pra vendê
Na feira de Caruaru
Tem massa de mandioca
Castanha assada, tem ovo cru
Banana, laranja, manga
Batata, doce, queijo e caju
Cenoura, jabuticaba
Guiné, galinha, pato e peru
Tem bode, carneiro, porco
Se duvidá, inté cururu
Tem cesto, balaio, corda
Tamanco, gréia, tem cuêi-tatu
Tem fumo, tem tabaqueiro
Feito de chifre de boi zebu
Caneco acuvitêro
Penêra boa e mé de uruçú
Tem carça de arvorada
Que é pra matuto não andá nú
Tem rêde, tem balieira
Mode minino caçá nambu
Maxixe, cebola verde
Tomate, cuento, couve e chuchu
Armoço feito nas torda
Pirão mixido que nem angu
Mubia de tamburête
Feita do tronco do mulungú
Tem loiça, tem ferro véio
Sorvete de raspa que faz jaú
Gelada, cardo de cana
Fruta de paima e mandacaru
Bunecos de Vitalino
Que são cunhecidos inté no Sul
De tudo que há no mundo
Tem na Feira de Caruaru
Translation
The Caruaru Fair
It's a pleasure to see
Everything there is in the world
It has for sale
At the Caruaru fair
There's cassava dough
Roasted nuts, there's raw egg
Banana, orange, mango
Potato, sweet potato, cheese and cashew
Carrot, jabuticaba
Guinea fowl, chicken, duck and turkey
There's goat, sheep, pork
If you doubt it, even a cururu
There's basket, hamper, rope
Clog, gréia, there's armadillo-rabbit
There's tobacco, there's a snuff box
Made from zebu ox horn
Acuvitêro mug
Good sieve and uruçú honey
There are arvorada pants
So that country folk don't walk naked
There's hammock, there's balieira
For children to hunt nambu
Gherkin, green onion
Tomato, cilantro, collard greens and chayote
Lunch made in the field
Pirão stirred like angu
Mubia de tamburête
Made from the mulungú trunk
There's crockery, there's old iron
Shaved ice cream that makes you shiver
Cold drink, sugarcane juice
Palm fruit and mandacaru
Vitalino's dolls
Which are known even in the South
Everything there is in the world
Is at the Caruaru Fair
