Full lyrics
Ai meu baião, vem trazer meu juízo de volta
Na estrada de barro pisado, aos olhos de um carcará
Sede de luz, da lua que brilha de longe
que traça o caminho do homem, na mata escura vai lá
Vai lá, Vai lá
Até lá o meu baião, foi
Chegando lá, ouviu o som do assum preto
Canoa, jangadeiro, sertão de cor
Meu Deus no céu, sofrimento no bolso
E o terço no pescoço, proteção
A fé eu já achei mas já não sei, pra onde foi
Foi de lá, Veio de lá, Foi de lá, Veio de lá
Foi de lá, Veio de lá, Foi de lá, Veio de lá
Veio de lá, veio de lá, veio de lá
Translation
Oh, my baião, come bring my senses back
On the road of trodden clay, to the eyes of a carcará
Thirst for light, from the moon that shines from afar
That traces the path of man, in the dark forest goes there
Go there, Go there
Until there my baião, went
Arriving there, he heard the sound of the blackbird
Canoe, raftsman, backlands of color
My God in heaven, suffering in his pocket
And the rosary around his neck, protection
The faith I already found but I don't know anymore, where it went
It was from there, It came from there, It was from there, It came from there
It was from there, It came from there, It was from there, It came from there
It came from there, it came from there, it came from there
