The poet from Recife Moacir Rodrigues
Recife from the House of Culture and Paço do Frevo
Where frevo trembles on the skin and even in the heart
I'm taking your beloved poet son
Renowned for his verses and other arts
A gift cart of pure verses
For the noble poet Moacir Rodrigues.
A fair and deserved tribute exists
From Capela Dourada to Cais do Sertão
This Recife native from the São José Market
Holds the poetic richness of Pernambuco
Fierce son of the most beautiful court of verses
It's Moacir Rodrigues, a poet born in the sertão.
