Full lyrics

Eita, saudade

Saudade do meu sertão

A saudade não me deixa

Aperta meu coração


Quando eu me lembro de lá

Da vontade de chorar

É tanta recordação

Das fogueiras abençoadas

Da noite de São João


Foi embora chego já

No primeiro caminhão

Vou em cima vou contente

Vou cantando o meu baião

Chego lá eu vou cantar

Vou colher muito algodão

Vou visitar Juazeiro

Do padre Cícero Romão

Translation

Oh, the saudade

Longing for my backlands

The saudade doesn't leave me

It squeezes my heart


When I remember that place

It makes me want to cry

There are so many memories

Of the blessed bonfires

Of Saint John's Eve


I left, but I'll arrive soon

On the first truck

I'll ride on top, I'll be happy

I'll go singing my baião

When I get there, I'll sing

I'll pick a lot of cotton

I'll visit Juazeiro

Of Father Cícero Romão
