Translation

Olaolô, morena flor de cheiro

Hello there, brown flower of fragrance

Sai dessa roda e quebra esse cordão

Step out of this circle and break this chain

Te dou um doce, um cacho de pitomba

I'll give you a sweet, a bunch of pitomba

Vem pro meu lado e sai da contra-mão

Come to my side and leave the counterflow

Vim do Recife pra ver Pitombeira

I came from Recife to see Pitombeira

No mesmo compasso, poeira, carreira

In the same rhythm, dust, race

Menina do passo, queimada de sol

Girl of the step, sunburned

Pandeiro na mão, estrela do norte, areia do mar

Tambourine in hand, northern star, sand of the sea

Olinda mandou me chamar

Olinda sent for me

É talco, é banho, é carreira

It's talcum, it's bath, it's race

No Carmo, na Sé, na Ribeira

In Carmo, in Sé, in Ribeira

Olhando teus olhos me perco e esqueço até do jantar.

Looking into your eyes, I get lost and forget even about dinner
