Full lyrics
Eu quero ver a palha do coqueiro balançar
Eu quero ver o vento a palha do coqueiro sacudir
Eu ver o povo nesse coco se espalhar
E quero dançar a noite com nair
Quero ver no terreiro a fogueira queimando
O balão subindo
Sob a luz do luar
E no salão o povo cantando dançando nesse coco até o dia clarear
Translation
I want to see the coconut palm frond sway
I want to see the wind shake the coconut palm frond
I see the people spread out in this coco
And I want to dance the night with Nair
I want to see the bonfire burning in the terreiro
The sky lantern rising
Under the moonlight
And in the hall the people singing dancing in this coco until the day breaks
