Full lyrics
Não sou daqui meu patrão
Apenas vim trabalhar
Eu sou de lá do sertão
E agora tenho que voltar
Pois já choveu no sertão
Não há mais seca por lá
Eu vou embora patrão
Aqui não posso ficar
Vou plantar milho e feijão
Para em junho eu lucrar
E quando for no São João
Vai lá pra nós festejar
Translation
I'm not from here, boss
I only came to work
I'm from the backlands over there
And now I have to return
Because it has already rained in the backlands
There is no more drought there
I'm leaving, boss
I can't stay here
I'm going to plant corn and beans
So that in June I can profit
And when it's Saint John's Day
Come there to celebrate with us
