In The Middle of the Strong Smell
The coquette egret
Dates the cheeky black vulture
They spend the whole afternoon
Causing the biggest recket
At the docks of the riverside Ver-o-Peso market
In the middle of the strong smell1
In the middle of the strong smell, in the middle of the strong smell
I went to sing carimbó2 at the Ver-o-Peso market
The black vulture was hovering above and then I understood
It looks like it's going to rain
It looks like it's going to rain
After the rain
I'll sing carimbó for you
In the middle of the strong smell, in the middle of the strong smell
The cheeky black vulture
Went on his hollidays to Marajó3
He ate many different things
But was very sad
Another black vulture asked him
"What's up with you, my friend?"
"I miss my white girl
Ver-o-Peso market and the racket
There, I'm a popstar among the rascals
I look good in the pictures, in the interviews, and in the news features"
In the middle of the strong smell, in the middle of the strong smell
Hey, guys of the Pedra4! Hey, boatmen!
Everyone who works
With the amazing fish of my Pará
Which has this beautiful name
Of the Pedra of Ver-o-Peso!
The strong smell of fresh water fish!
