Full lyrics

A saudade bateu forte

No fundo do coração

Deu um vazio no peito

Lembrando do meu sertão

Da casa de reboco

Da cacimba de quintal

Da rede no terraço

Onde agente namorava

E balançava a se amar

Meu deus como eram lindas

As noites no meu sertão

O brilho das estrelas

Tinha mais imensidão

A luz do candeeiro

A chama do lampião

Era tudo tão bonito

Eu acho que é por isso

Que eu choro de emoção

A saudade do sertão

Me faz chorar oh!

A saudade do sertão me faz sofrer

Foi a seca que me fez

Te abandonar

Foi a seca que me fez deixar você

Lá na casa de reboco

Te amar

E na rede balançar

Ninar você

Translation

The deep longing struck hard

Deep in my heart

It left an emptiness in my chest

Remembering my sertão

Of the mud-plastered house

Of the backyard well

Of the hammock on the porch

Where we used to court

And swung, loving each other

My God, how beautiful were

The nights in my sertão

The sparkle of the stars

Had more immensity

The light of the oil lamp

The flame of the lantern

Everything was so beautiful

I think that's why

That I cry with emotion

The longing for the sertão

Makes me cry, oh!

The longing for the sertão makes me suffer

It was the drought that made me

Abandon you

It was the drought that made me leave you

There in the mud-plastered house

To love you

And in the hammock swing

To lull you
