Full lyrics

Se Deus quiser vou voltar pra minha terra

A saudade fez meu peito se machucar


Eu escrevi pra mamãe

Dizendo como é que eu vou

Gozando muita saúde

Vivendo em paz no amor

Mais a saudade que dói

Chegou no meu coração

Chegou e falou mais alto

Eu aqui não fico não


Se Deus quiser vou voltar pra minha terra

A saudade fez meu peito se machucar


Eu vou deixar meu adeus

Pra essa gente querida

Que sempre me acolheu

E tanto faz de guarida

Mais a saudade que arrasa

Veio tirar minha paz

Fazendo eu voltar pra casa

Com a mão na frente e outra atrás


Se Deus quiser vou voltar pra minha terra

A saudade fez meu peito se machucar

Translation

If God wills it, I'll return to my land

The longing has hurt my chest


I wrote to my mom

Telling her how I am

Enjoying good health

Living in peace in love

But the longing that hurts

Has reached my heart

It arrived and spoke louder

I'm not staying here


If God wills it, I'll return to my land

The longing has hurt my chest


I'll leave my farewell

To these dear people

Who have always welcomed me

And do so much to shelter me

But the longing that devastates

Came to take my peace

Making me return home

With one hand in front and the other behind


If God wills it, I'll return to my land

The longing has hurt my chest
