Full lyrics
Vai chover no meu sertão escutei a trovoada
Vai cair chuva a granel vai ser grande a invernada
O barreiro estava seco agora tem água pra gente
É o açude sangrando o pasto crescendo pro gado comer
Com muita alegria convido a família e vamos plantar
Deus agora se lembrou de mandar fartura pro lado de cá
Vai chover no meu sertão escutei a trovoada
Vai cair chuva a granel vai ser grande a invernada
Como é bonito ver juazeiro verdejando
A lavoura vai brotando milho verde pendoando
Vamos ter o que comer
A mulher fica feliz em ver tudo sobre a mesa
Tem fartura com certeza agradeço a natureza
Por me dar tudo que eu quis
Translation
It's going to rain in my backlands, I heard the thunder
It's going to rain a lot, it's going to be a great winter
The clay pit was dry, now we have water
The dam is overflowing, the pasture is growing for the cattle to eat
With great joy I invite the family and let's plant
God has now remembered to send plenty to this side
It's going to rain in my backlands, I heard the thunder
It's going to rain a lot, it's going to be a great winter
How beautiful it is to see the juazeiro tree turning green
The crops are sprouting, the green corn is tasseling
We will have what to eat
The woman is happy to see everything on the table
There is plenty for sure, I thank nature
For giving me everything I wanted
