Full lyrics
Desce irrigando a terra
Botando em cada fruto o seu sabor
Mata a sede de quem sonhar
Pintando e dando cheiro a cada flor
Manjá para visão do sertanejo
Suor da natureza, mãe dos rios
Sorriso pra boca de quem plantar
Alívio para dor dos desafios
Chuva lava e cura mágoas
Que esse rio deságua
Na cacimba do amor(bis)
Parteira dos duendes e das fadas
Comadre das sementes, sangue pra raiz
Seu cheiro denuncia a saudade
Meus "zoin" as vez chora de feliz
Porteira aberta para euforia
Princesa para o reino da folhagem
Tirana pros quintais da covardia
Humanamente cega pra clonagem
Translation
Descends irrigating the earth
Putting its flavor in every fruit
Quenches the thirst of those who dream
Painting and giving scent to every flower
Manjá for the vision of the sertanejo
Sweat of nature, mother of rivers
A smile for the mouth of those who plant
Relief for the pain of challenges
Rain washes and heals sorrows
That this river flows
Into the wellspring of love(bis)
Midwife of goblins and fairies
Godmother of seeds, blood for the root
Its scent reveals the saudade
My eyes sometimes cry with happiness
Gate open for euphoria
Princess for the kingdom of foliage
Tyrant for the backyards of cowardice
Humanly blind to cloning
