Full lyrics

Estou no cansaço da vida

Estou no descanso da fé

Estou de guerra com a fome

Na mesa, fio e mulher

Ser sertanejo, senhor


É fazer do fraco o forte

Carregar azar ou sorte

Comparar vida com a morte

É nascer nesse sertão

A batalha está acabando

Já vejo relampejar

Abro o curral da miséria


E deixo a fome passar

O que sinto, meu senhor

Não me queixo de ninguém

O que falta aqui é chuva

Mas eu sei que um dia vem

Vai ter tudo de fartura

Pra quem teve e hoje não tem

Translation

I am in life's weariness

I am in faith's rest

I am at war with hunger

At the table, child and wife

To be a sertanejo, sir


Is to make the weak strong

To carry bad luck or good luck

To compare life with death

Is to be born in this sertão

The battle is ending


I already see lightning flash

I open the corral of misery

And let hunger pass by

What I feel, my lord

I don't complain about anyone

What is missing here is rain

But I know one day it will come

There will be plenty of everything

For those who had and today have not
