Full lyrics

Sertanejo meu amigo

Ouça o que eu vou lhe falar

Nunca pense em ir embora

Nunca mude de lugar


A cidade é bonita

Tem presença e ilusão

Mais não chega nem pertinho

Da beleza do sertão


Na sua terra natal

Perto tem sempre um irmão

Na cidade a muita gente

Mais você sente solidão


Lembre da sua morena

Não esqueça disso não

Longe dela a saudade

Judia o seu coração

Translation

My sertanejo friend,

Listen to what I'm going to tell you,

Never think about leaving,

Never change your place.


The city is beautiful,

It has presence and illusion,

But it doesn't even come close

To the beauty of the sertão.


In your homeland,

There's always a brother nearby,

In the city there are many people,

But you feel loneliness.


Remember your brunette,

Don't forget that,

Far from her, longing

Tortures your heart.
