Full lyrics
Quando a tarde vai chegando
No meu sertão tão bonito
Parece que ta escrito
Só tristeza dentro de mim
Não tenho mais alegria
Nem vontade de viver
Era ela minha vida
Não consigo esquecer
É saudade dela
É a lembrança dela
É o jeitinho dela
Que me faz sofrer
Quando eu lembro dos carinhos
Que ela sempre me fazia
E sorrindo me dizia
Que era minha somente minha
Mais agora só resta lembrança
Das palavras que ela dizia
E os beijinhos que ela me dava
Eu me recordo todo dia
Translation
When the afternoon arrives
In my beautiful backlands
It seems it's written
Only sadness inside me
I have no more joy
Nor will to live
She was my life
I can't forget
It's longing for her
It's the memory of her
It's her way
That makes me suffer
When I remember the caresses
That she always gave me
And smiling she would tell me
That she was mine, only mine
But now only memories remain
Of the words she said
And the little kisses she gave me
I remember every day
