Nos cafundó
De Bodocó, de Bodocó, de Bodocó
Nos cafundó
De Bodocó, de Bodocó, de Bodocó
Nos cafundó
De Bodocó, de Bodocó, de Bodocó
Nos cafundó
De Bodocó, de Bodocó, de Bodocó
Nas caatingas do meu chão
Se esconde a sorte cega
Não se vê e nem se pega
Por acaso ou precisão
Mas eu sei que ela existe
Pois foi velha companheira
Do famoso Lampião
Nos cafundó
De Bodocó, de Bodocó, de Bodocó
Nos cafundó
De Bodocó, de Bodocó, de Bodocó
Nos cafundó
De Bodocó, de Bodocó, de Bodocó
Nos cafundó
De Bodocó, de Bodocó, de Bodocó
Nas veredas corre o azar
Sem deixar rastro no chão
Nas quebradas caem as folhas
Fazendo a decoração
Chora o vento quando passa
Nas galhas do aveloz
Chora o sapo sem lagoa
Todos em uma só voz
Chora toda a natureza
Na esperança, na incerteza
De Jesus olhar pra nós
Nos cafundó
De Bodocó, de Bodocó, de Bodocó
Nos cafundó
De Bodocó, de Bodocó, de Bodocó
Nos cafundó
De Bodocó, de Bodocó, de Bodocó
Nos cafundó
De Bodocó, de Bodocó, de Bodocó
Translation
In the remote corners
Of Bodocó, of Bodocó, of Bodocó
In the remote corners
Of Bodocó, of Bodocó, of Bodocó
In the remote corners
Of Bodocó, of Bodocó, of Bodocó
In the remote corners
Of Bodocó, of Bodocó, of Bodocó
In the caatingas of my land
Blind luck hides
It's not seen nor caught
By chance or necessity
But I know it exists
For it was an old companion
Of the famous Lampião
In the remote corners
Of Bodocó, of Bodocó, of Bodocó
In the remote corners
Of Bodocó, of Bodocó, of Bodocó
In the remote corners
Of Bodocó, of Bodocó, of Bodocó
In the remote corners
Of Bodocó, of Bodocó, of Bodocó
In the paths, bad luck runs
Leaving no trace on the ground
In the ravines, leaves fall
Making the decoration
The wind cries when it passes
Through the branches of the aveloz
The frog cries without a pond
All in one voice
All of nature cries
In hope, in uncertainty
For Jesus to look upon us
In the remote corners
Of Bodocó, of Bodocó, of Bodocó
In the remote corners
Of Bodocó, of Bodocó, of Bodocó
In the remote corners
Of Bodocó, of Bodocó, of Bodocó
In the remote corners
Of Bodocó, of Bodocó, of Bodocó
