Feira na beira do rio, doutor
Fair by the riverbank, doctor
Olha que tem tudo lá
Look, there's everything there
Feijão de corda, tem farinha e graviola
Cowpea, there's flour and soursop
E até moda de viola, pode acreditar
And even country music, you can believe
Feira na beira do rio, doutor
Fair by the riverbank, doctor
É mercado popular tem tambaqui, tucunaré, siri-patola
It's a popular market, there's tambaqui, peacock bass, and land crab
E todo tipo de tempero para temperar
And all kinds of spices to season
Tem umbu, meu sinhô
There's umbu, my sir
Siriguela, iaiá
Surinam cherry, miss
Milho verde, doutor
Green corn, doctor
Manga madura
Ripe mango
Quebra-queixo, sinhô
Quebra-queixo, sir
Goiabada, iaiá
Guava paste, miss
Mel, cocada e cuscuz
Honey, coconut sweet, and couscous
Tem rapadura
There's brown sugar
Leva pimenta, tomate, taioba, canela e dendê
Take pepper, tomato, taioba, cinnamon, and palm oil
Tem carne seca, buchada de bode pra fortalecer
There's jerked beef, goat stomach to strengthen
Fumo de rolo, cachaça da roça pra comemorar
Rolling tobacco, countryside cachaça to celebrate
Leva essa flor no cabelo, morena, pra te perfumar
Take this flower in your hair, brunette, to perfume you
Leva tudo, leva um pouco
Take everything, take a bit
Leva o ralador de coco
Take the coconut grater
Meu sinhô, não tenho troco
My sir, I don't have change
Leva um coco pra ralar
Take a coconut to grate
