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.
