Full lyrics

Eu viajei pra muito longe

Atrás de um mundo novo

E me realizar

E quanto mais distante eu fui

mais perto me encontrei

Aqui do meu lugar


Se deita na minha lembrança

A correnteza mansa

Águas do meu riacho

Espelhos nos igarapés

Quando lavava os pés

E a sombra por debaixo


Progresso, eu sei é necessário

Mas não há salário

Que pague o que eu tenho

Indústria que tudo refina

Mas só me fascina

O doce do engenho


Insconscientemente o povo

Corre atrás do novo

E perde o endereço

Ninguém trará de volta a feira

A roça e a cachoeira

Tudo tem seu preço.

Translation

I traveled very far

In search of a new world

And to fulfill myself

And the further I went

The closer I found myself

Here, in my place


It settles in my memory

The gentle current

Waters of my stream

Mirrors in the small waterways

When I washed my feet

And the shade underneath


Progress, I know it's necessary

But there's no salary

That pays for what I have

Industry that refines everything

But only fascinates me

The sweetness of the mill


Unconsciously the people

Run after the new

And lose their way

No one will bring back the fair

The countryside and the waterfall

Everything has its price.
