Full lyrics

Oi mano, a saudade é de matá

Oi mano, tou maluco pra voltá


Adeus Pernambuco

A saudade é de matá

Adeus Pernambuco

Tou maluco pra voltá


Deixei lá na porta

Da minha choupana

Com os óio vermêio

Com beijo na boca

Minha pernambucana

Peguei meu cavalo

Toquei as ispóra

Sem oiá pra trás

Parti para longe

Pensando que nunca

Voltava lá mais


Saudade que aperta

Que dói, que maltrata

De uns óio vermêio

De um beijo na boca

De um luar de prata

Meu Deus, se eu pudesse

Fazer o que manda

O meu coração...

Voltava pra lá

Ou trazia pra cá

Todo o meu sertão

Translation

Hey man, the longing is killing me

Hey man, I'm crazy to go back


Goodbye Pernambuco

The longing is killing me

Goodbye Pernambuco

I'm crazy to go back


I left her at the door

Of my shack

With red eyes

With a kiss on the mouth

My Pernambuco girl

I grabbed my horse

I spurred it on

Without looking back

I left for far away

Thinking that I would never

Go back there again


The longing that squeezes

That hurts, that mistreats

Of red eyes

Of a kiss on the mouth

Of a silver moonlight

My God, if I could

Do what my heart

Tells me...

I would go back there

Or bring here

All my backlands
