Meu Araripe

My Araripe, my treasure
I came here to see my foot of the hill }bis
Kiss my land
Celebrate its centennial

Welcome everyone
The children of Januário
To celebrate the centennial of Araripe
And our party
Won't be by candlelight
There's already light shining
That the men ordered to bring }bis

I want to praise
The greats of this place
Luiz Pereira, Dona Bárbara de Alencar
And the Baron who stays in our memory
Who sent to fetch from France
São João and Baltazar

Where's Mr. Aires, Where's Godmother Nenê
Dona and Donana, Nova, Santana, and Bahia
Where's Mr. Seven
Sinharinha dos Canário
To sing with Januário
São João with joy
