Full lyrics
Cadê você asa branca cantadeira
Venha cantar na minha roça a vida inteira
Não sei porque sou um matuto azarado
Chove na roça dos outros só não chove em meu roçado
Cante outra vez asa branca por favor
Venha dizer onde é que anda o meu amor
Gosto de ver o verde lá no sertão
Enverdeando os olhos e também o coração
Translation
Where are you, singing white-winged dove,
Come sing in my field for a lifetime
I don't know why I'm an unlucky country bumpkin
It rains in other people's fields, just not in mine
Sing again, white-winged dove, please
Come tell me where my love is
I like to see the green in the backlands
Greening my eyes and also my heart
