Cajuina

Existirmos: a que será que se destina?

We exist: What is it intended for?

Pois quando tu me deste a rosa pequenina

Because, when you gave me the little rose

Vi que és um homem lindo e que se acaso a sina

I saw you are a handsome man and, if by chance, the destiny of

Do menino infeliz não se nos ilumina

the unhappy boy doesn't light us,

Tampouco turva-se a lágrima nordestina

Neither the northdeatern tear becomes blurred

Apenas a matéria vida era tão fina

Just the living matter was so fine

E éramos olharmo-nos intacta retina

And we were looking at each other with a intact retina

A cajuína cristalina em Teresina

The crystalline cajuina in Teresina
