Full lyrics

Ai, ai, ai,ai

Que saudades do Piauí

Ai, ai, ai,ai

Qualquer dia

Estarei por ai


Os anos foram passando

Meu cabelos prateando

Mas esquecer não conseguí

Terra onde o sol brilha mais

Não existem dois iguais

Só conheço o do meu Piauí


Mulheres que não se esquece

Como se fossem uma prece

Em um santuário a rezar

Poetas que sabem dizer

Belezas de enternecer

Que um dia me farão voltar


O vaqueiro do sertão

Que faz de um aboio, uma canção

Só tem lá em Campo Maior

Sabe sofrer, sabe amar

E agora vou lhe ofertar

Estes versos que eu canto em menor

Translation

Ai, ai, ai,ai

What deep longing for Piauí

Ai, ai, ai,ai

Any day

I will be there



The years kept passing

My hair turning silver

But I couldn't forget

Land where the sun shines brightest

There are no two alike

I only know that of my Piauí



Women one doesn't forget

As if they were a prayer

Praying in a sanctuary

Poets who know how to say

Beauties that soften the heart

That one day will make me return



The vaqueiro from the sertão

Who makes a song from an aboio

Only exists there in Campo Maior

Knows how to suffer, knows how to love

And now I will offer you

These verses that I sing in minor
