Full lyrics

Ai que saudade do meu povo la da roça

Estou sofrendo com vontade de chorar

Eu não me esqueço daquele baile de palhoça

Essa saudade ta querendo me matar


Meu irmão caminhoneiro

Me de uma carona no seu caminhão

Eu sou um peregrino chorando a dez horas

Me leve de volta la pro meu sertão


Eu quero vê Zabé

Eu quero vê Luzia

Eu quero vê Maria

Filha de Pedro Simão

Eu quero apertar a mão

Das filhas de Pedro Rosendo

A saudade esta doendo no meu coração

Translation

Oh, what a longing for my people from the countryside

I am suffering with the urge to cry

I don't forget that straw-hut dance party

This longing is trying to kill me


My truck driver brother

Give me a ride in your truck

I am a pilgrim crying for ten hours

Take me back to my sertão


I want to see Zabé

I want to see Luzia

I want to see Maria

Daughter of Pedro Simão

I want to shake hands

With the daughters of Pedro Rosendo

The longing is hurting my heart
