Full lyrics
Chora viola alivia a minha dor
Hoje to longe de casa
Do sertão onde nasci
Chora viola dona do meu coração
Diga não sempre a tristeza
Mande embora a solidão
Pelas ruas aonde ando
Levo um canto de alegria
De tudo que eu mais queria
Era fugir da solidão
Pelo mundo vida afora
Não me canso de viver
Faço a minha própria historia
Não só canto pra voce
Translation
Cry, viola, ease my pain
Today I'm far from home
From the sertão where I was born
Cry, viola, mistress of my heart
Always say no to sadness
Send loneliness away
Through the streets where I walk
I carry a song of joy
Of all that I most wanted
It was to escape loneliness
Through the world, life onward
I don't tire of living
I make my own story
I don't just sing for you
