Full lyrics

O que eu tinha no norte

Vendi por qualquer dinheiro

Pra vê se dava mais sorte

Vim pro Rio de Janeiro

Abandonei meu roçado

E fugi pra capital

Estava sacrificado

Pro meu povo sustentar


Aqui vou bem

Mas pro norte eu tenho que voltar

Só porque eu preciso buscar

O meu pai e a minha mãe

Os meus irmãos

Mariazinha que ficou esperando por mim

Escreveu-me dizendo assim

Venha aqui pra me buscar

Se tu não voltar pro norte

Como é que eu vou ficar

Translation

What I had in the north

I sold for any money

To see if I had better luck

I came to Rio de Janeiro

I abandoned my farm

And fled to the capital

I was sacrificed

To support my people


Here I am doing well

But I have to go back to the north

Only because I need to find

My father and my mother

My brothers and sisters

Mariazinha who stayed waiting for me

Wrote to me saying this

Come here to get me

If you don't come back to the north

How am I going to be
