Full lyrics

Ai, ai, que bom

Que bom, que bom que é

Uma estrada e uma cabocla

Cum a gente andando a pé

Ai, ai, que bom

Que bom, que bom que é

Uma estrada e a lua branca

No sertão de Canindé

Artomove lá nem sabe se é home ou se é muié

Quem é rico anda em burrico

Quem é pobre anda a pé

Mas o pobre vê nas estrada

O orvaio beijando as flô

Vê de perto o galo campina

Que quando canta muda de cor

Vai moiando os pés no riacho

Que água fresca, nosso Senhor

Vai oiando coisa a grané

Coisas qui, pra mode vê

O cristão tem que andá a pé

Translation

Oh, oh, how good

How good, how good it is

A road and a cabocla

With us walking on foot

Oh, oh, how good

How good, how good it is

A road and the white moon

In the sertão of Canindé

A car there doesn't even know if it's a man or a woman

Whoever is rich rides a donkey

Whoever is poor walks on foot

But the poor person sees on the roads

The dew kissing the flowers

Sees up close the Red-cowled Cardinal

That when it sings changes color

Goes wetting the feet in the stream

What fresh water, our Lord

Goes looking at many things

Things that, in order to see

The Christian has to walk on foot
