Full lyrics

Quando olhei a terra ardendo

Quá fogueira de São João

Eu perguntei a Deus do céu: Ai

Por que tamanha judiação?


Que braseiro, que fornalha

Nem um pé de plantação

Por falta d'água, perdi meu gado

Morreu de sede meu alazão

Por falta d'água, perdi meu gado

Morreu de sede meu alazão


Inté mesmo a asa branca

Bateu asas do sertão

Entonce eu disse: Adeus, Rosinha

Guarda contigo meu coração

Entonce eu disse: Adeus, Rosinha

Guarda contigo meu coração


Hoje longe, muitas légua

Numa triste solidão

Espero a chuva cair de novo

Pra mim voltar pro meu sertão

Espero a chuva cair de novo

Pra mim voltar pro meu sertão


Quando o verde dos teus olho

Se espalhar na plantação

Eu te asseguro, não chore não, viu?

Que eu voltarei, viu, meu coração?

Eu te asseguro, não chore não, viu?

Que eu voltarei, viu, meu coração?

Translation

When I saw the land burning

Like a Saint John's bonfire

I asked God in heaven: Oh

Why such suffering?


What a brazier, what a furnace

Not a single foot of plantation

For lack of water, I lost my cattle

My sorrel horse died of thirst

For lack of water, I lost my cattle

My sorrel horse died of thirst


Even the white-winged dove

Flapped its wings from the backlands

Then I said: Goodbye, Rosinha

Keep my heart with you

Then I said: Goodbye, Rosinha

Keep my heart with you


Today far away, many leagues

In a sad solitude

I wait for the rain to fall again

For me to return to my backlands

I wait for the rain to fall again

For me to return to my backlands


When the green of your eyes

Spreads across the plantation

I assure you, don't cry, you see?

That I will return, you see, my heart?

I assure you, don't cry, you see?

That I will return, you see, my heart?
