Full lyrics

Eu aprendi a soletrar

e ja vou responder

cartinha de minha mae

do meu bem querer


remexendo os meus guardados

um biletinho eu achei

volte pra casa menino

a muito te perdooei

por aqui ta trovejando

é sinal que vai chover

nao devias ter fugido

filhinho do bem querer


agora vou lhe contar mae

porque seu filho fugiu

eu queria aprender ler

pra saber o que e Brazil

essa pedra preciosa faltando lapidaçao

quando ja esta quase pronta

sofre sempre um arranhao

e tal e qual um vaqueiro mae

sem cavalo e sem gibao

no estouro da boiada

faz cortar o coraçao

Translation

I learned to spell

and I'm going to answer

a letter from my mother

of my beloved


rummaging through my keepsakes

a little note I found

come home boy

I have long forgiven you

here it's thundering

it's a sign that it will rain

you shouldn't have run away

son of the beloved


now I'll tell you mother

why your son ran away

I wanted to learn to read

to know what is Brazil

this precious stone lacking polishing

when it's almost ready

always suffers a scratch

and it's just like a cowboy mother

without a horse and without leather clothes

in the stampede

it cuts the heart
