Full lyrics
Seu moço eu venho de longe não sei onde vou chegar
Não tenho medo de seguir, mas tenho medo de voltar
Plantar, plantar porque homem sou
Plantar, colher para quem não plantou
Amar, amar quem nunca me amou
Ser mais escravo do que hoje sou
Quando a ida não é boa, a volta não pode prestar
Não tenho medo de seguir, mas tenho medo de voltar
Acreditar no que acreditei, trabalhar pra quem trabalhei
Amar, amar quem eu já amei
Passar caminhos que já passei.
Translation
Young man, I come from afar, I don't know where I'm going to arrive
I'm not afraid to keep going, but I'm afraid to return
To plant, to plant because I am a man
To plant, to harvest for those who didn't plant
To love, to love those who never loved me
To be more of a slave than I am today
When the journey there isn't good, the return can't be any better
I'm not afraid to keep going, but I'm afraid to return
To believe in what I believed, to work for whom I worked
To love, to love those whom I've already loved
To walk paths that I've already walked.
