Lyrics

Translation

Eu só queria

I just wanted

Que você fosse um dia

That you would one day

Ver as praias bonitas

See the beautiful beaches

Do meu Ceará!

Of my Ceará!

Tenho a certeza que você gostaria

I'm sure you would like

Dos mares bravios

The fierce seas

Das praias de lá

The beaches over there

Onde o coqueiro tem palma bem verde

Where the coconut tree has very green fronds

Balançando ao vento

Swinging in the wind

Pertinho do céu

Close to the sky

E lá nasceu a virgem do poema

And there was born the virgin of the poem

A linda Iracema

The beautiful Iracema

Dos lábios de mel!

With lips of honey!

Oh, quanta saudade!

Oh, how much longing!

A jangadinha

The little raft

Vai no mar deslizando

Goes sliding on the sea

O pescador

The fisherman

Seu peixe vai pescando

Catches his fish

No verde mar

In the green sea

Que não tem fim

That has no end

No Ceará é assim!

In Ceará, it's like this!
