Full lyrics

Um pedaço de terra

Uma casinha de taipa

É o bastante

Com a enxada na mão

A gente ganha o pão

E vai avante

Essa mão calejada, danada

Que ainda não cansou

Essa pele morena

Que o sol queimou

É a identidade

De um bom cidadão } bis

Que está querendo

Um pedaço de terra

Pra ganhar o pão


Se isso acontecer

Maria vai gostar

A meninada enche o bucho

Pára de chorar

Toda semana lá em casa

Vai ter um forró

Quero ver rapaziada

Levantando o pó

A galinha corcoreja

Meu cabrito berra

Meu pedacinho de terra

Vai ser meu xodó

Translation

A piece of land

A wattle-and-daub house

Is enough

With a hoe in hand

We earn our bread

And move forward

This calloused, stubborn hand

That still hasn't tired

This brown skin

That the sun burned

Is the identity

Of a good citizen } bis

Who is wanting

A piece of land

To earn their bread


If this happens

Maria will like it

The kids will fill their bellies

Stop crying

Every week at my house

There will be a forró

I want to see the young folks

Kicking up dust

The hen clucks

My goat bleats

My little piece of land

Will be my xodó
