Full lyrics

Já faz três noites que pro norte relampeia

E a asa branca ouvindo o ronco do trovão

Já bateu asas e voltou pro meu sertão

Ai, ai, eu vou-me embora, vou cuidar da prantação

Já bateu asas e voltou pro meu sertão

Ai, ai, eu vou-me embora, vou cuidar da prantação


A seca fez eu desertar da minha terra

Mas felizmente Deus agora se alembrou

De mandar chuva pra esse sertão sofredor

Sertão das muié séria, dos home trabalhador

De mandar chuva pra esse sertão sofredor

Sertão das muié séria, dos home trabalhador


Rios correndo, as cachoeira tão zoando

Terra molhada, mato verde, que riqueza

E a asa branca, tarde canta, que beleza

Ai, ai, o povo alegre, mais alegre a natureza

E a asa branca, tarde canta, que beleza

Ai, ai, o povo alegre, mais alegre a natureza


Sentindo a chuva, eu me arrescordo de Rosinha

A linda frô do meu sertão pernambucano

E se a safra não atrapaiá meus pranos

Quê que há, aí ô Seu Vigário, vou casar no fim do ano

E se a safra não atrapaiá meus pranos

Quê que há, aí ô Seu Vigário, vou casar no fim do ano

Translation

It's been three nights that it's lightning to the north

And the asa branca hearing the rumble of the thunder

Has already flapped its wings and returned to my sertão

Oh, oh, I'm leaving, I'm going to take care of the planting

Has already flapped its wings and returned to my sertão

Oh, oh, I'm leaving, I'm going to take care of the planting


The drought made me desert my land

But fortunately God now remembered

To send rain to this suffering sertão

Sertão of serious women, of hardworking men

To send rain to this suffering sertão

Sertão of serious women, of hardworking men


Rivers running, the waterfalls are roaring

Wet earth, green bush, what richness

And the asa branca, sings late, what beauty

Oh, oh, the people happy, nature even happier

And the asa branca, sings late, what beauty

Oh, oh, the people happy, nature even happier


Feeling the rain, I remember Rosinha

The beautiful flower of my Pernambucano sertão

And if the harvest doesn't mess up my plans

What's up, hey Seu Vigário, I'm getting married at the end of the year

And if the harvest doesn't mess up my plans

What's up, hey Seu Vigário, I'm getting married at the end of the year
