Full lyrics
Quem quiser viver bem, vá pra la
Conhecer porto velho, vê que bom lugar
Eu vou pra lá, eu vou brincar, eu vou cantar, eu vou, eu vou na carreira
Vou me espalhar vou me banhar no igarapé
Nadar no rio madeira
Pedaços do Amazonas, dos minérios e seringais
Quem chega em Rondônia
Não esquecera jamais
Quem vê guajará-mirim, Calama e Vilhena
Forte príncipe na beira
Não volta de lá que dá pena
Translation
Whoever wants to live well, go there
Get to know Porto Velho, see what a good place
I'm going there, I'm going to play, I'm going to sing, I'm going, I'm going quickly
I'm going to roam, I'm going to bathe in the igarapé
Swim in the Rio Madeira
Pieces of Amazonas, of the minerals and rubber plantations
Whoever arrives in Rondônia
Will never forget
Whoever sees Guajará-Mirim, Calama and Vilhena
Forte Príncipe on the bank
Doesn't come back from there, it's a pity
