Full lyrics

Jesus

Meu Jesus sertanejo

Presença maior, minha crença

Nestas terras sem ninguém


Silêncio

Na serra, nos campos

Ai desencanto que a gente tem

E o vento que sopra, ressoa

Ai sequidão que traz desolação


Ô ô Jesus razão

Tão sertanejo

Que entende até de precisão


De sol vou sofrer ou morrer

E as pedras resplandem

A dureza, a pobreza desse chão

João, um menino, um destino

Ai nordestino, de arribação

Cenário de dor e de calvário

Ai muda a face desta provação


Do céu há de vir solução

Na terra, a semente agoniza

Preconiza solidão

E a tarde que arde, acompanha

Ai tanta sanha de maldição

Aqui vou ficar, vou rezar

Ai vou amar a minha geração


Ô ô Jesus razão

Tão sertanejo

Que entende até de precisão

Translation

Jesus

My sertanejo Jesus

Greater presence, my belief

In these lands without anyone


Silence

In the mountains, in the fields

Oh, the disenchantment that we have

And the wind that blows, echoes

Oh, the dryness that brings desolation


Oh oh Jesus, reason

So sertanejo

Who even understands about need


From the sun I will suffer or die

And the stones gleam

The harshness, the poverty of this land

João, a boy, a destiny

Oh, nordestino, of arribação

Scenario of pain and of Calvary

Oh, it changes the face of this trial


From heaven a solution will come

On earth, the seed agonizes

It portends loneliness

And the afternoon that burns, accompanies

Oh, so much fury of damnation

Here I will stay, I will pray

Oh, I will love my generation


Oh oh Jesus, reason

So sertanejo

Who even understands about need
