Lyrics
Ponta de areia, ponto final
Da Bahia-Minas, estrada antural
Que ligava Minas ao porto, ao mar
Caminho de ferro mandaram arrancar
Velho maquinista com seu bon© Lembra o povo alegre que vinha cortejar
Maria-fumaca nЈo canta mais
Pras mocas, flores, janelas e quintais
Na praca vazia, um grito, um ai Casas equecidas, viєvas nos portais
Lyrics translation
Sand tip, end point
Da Bahia-Minas, estrada antural
That connected mines to the port, to the sea
Railway had to start
Old machinist with his good© remembers the cheerful people who came courting
Maria-fumaca njo sings more
Pras moccas, flowers, windows and backyards
In the empty square, a cry, a fair houses ai, viєvas in the portals
