Capim do vale, vara de goiabeira
Valley grass, guava stick
Na beira do rio, paro para me benzer
At the riverbank, I stop to cross myself
Mãe d'Água, sai um pouquinho desse seu leito—ninho
Mother of Water, come out of that bed of yours a little bit—nest
Que eu tenho um carinho para lhe fazer
That I have affection to give you
Capim do vale, vara de goiabeira
Valley grass, guava stick
Na beira do rio, paro para me benzer
At the riverbank, I stop to cross myself
Mãe d'Água, sai um pouquinho desse seu leito—ninho

Que eu tenho um carinho para lhe fazer
That I have affection to give you
Pinheiros do Paraná, que bom tê—los
Paraná Pines, how good to have them
Como areia no mar
Like sand in the sea
Mangas do Pará, pitangueiras da Borborema
Mangoes from Pará, pitangueiras from Borborema
A Ema gemeu no tronco do Juremá
Ema moaned on Jurema's trunk
Cacique perdeu, mas lutou que eu vi
Chief lost, but he fought that I saw
Jari não é Deus, mas acham que sim
Jari is not God, but they think so
Que fim levou o amor?
What end did love lead to?
Plantei um pé de fulô
I planted a fulô tree
Deu capim
Gave grass
Capim do vale, vara de goiabeira
Valley grass, guava stick
Na beira do rio, paro para me benzer
At the riverbank, I stop to cross myself
