O meu patrão
Quanta tristeza
O nordeste se acabou
Se foi a seca
Quase arrasa tudo
Agora chega a chuva
E tudo se afogou
Ate parece um dilúvio
Nunca vi chover assim
A tanto tempo não chovia tanto
O mundo ate parece que chegou ao fim
Nordestino em desespero
Foge da inundação
Nosso destino e viver fugindo
Fugir da seca brava e agora do trovão
Venho lhe pedir de novo
Pro senhor nos ajudar
Sair das águas que carrega tudo
Carrega tudo e em breve nada ficara
Eu prometo nunca mais
Pedir chuva pro sertão
O que Jesus fizer esta bem feito
Aqui vou terminar pedindo a Deus perdão
Translation
My boss
What sadness
The Northeast is over
The drought is gone
Almost destroys everything
Now the rain arrives
And everything drowned
It even looks like a flood
I've never seen it rain like this
It hasn't rained so much in so long
The world even seems to have come to an end
Northeasterner in despair
Flees the flood
Our destiny is to live fleeing
Fleeing the fierce drought and now the thunder
I come to ask you again
For you to help us
Get out of the waters that carry everything
Carry everything and soon nothing will remain
I promise never again
To ask for rain for the backlands
What Jesus does is well done
Here I will finish asking God for forgiveness
