Full lyrics

Pai Nosso

Que estais no céu do sertão

Santificado

Quem vive sobre esse chão


Sertanejo faz oração

É sofrido, é vivido de solidão

Nas quebradas, nos tabuleiros

Só pensa que a vida está sem razão

Passa o vento, redemoinho

Que roda e acorda desilusão


O pão nosso

De cada dia nos guia

Nos consola e transforma em coisas do dia

Sertanejo planta a semente

Que a terra não pode plantar

Foi o amor que fez o homem

Plantar nessa terra, o perdão

Na poeira dos caminheiras

A marca de uma vida de arribação } bis


Perdoai o vaqueiro, Meu Senhor

Que ele sempre nas contas lhe perdoou

Na caatinga, o caminho, a solução

A lição, a ilusão, a conformação

Que não caia o vaqueiro em tentação

Nem lhe traga perdição, maldição

Corre o tempo e o vento pro fim do mundo

O cavalo abalou, desembestou

Acabou minha vida de vaquejada

Translation

Our Father

Who art in the sky of the sertão

Hallowed be

He who lives upon this ground


The sertanejo prays

He suffers, he lives in solitude

In the ravines, on the plateaus

He only thinks life is without reason

The wind passes, a whirlwind

That spins and awakens disillusionment


Our daily bread

Guides us each day

Comforts us and transforms into things of the day

The sertanejo plants the seed

That the earth cannot plant

It was love that made man

Plant forgiveness in this land

In the dust of the wanderers

The mark of a life of arribação } bis


Forgive the vaqueiro, My Lord

For he always forgave You in his prayers

In the caatinga, the path, the solution

The lesson, the illusion, the conformity

May the vaqueiro not fall into temptation

Nor bring him perdition, damnation

Time and wind run to the end of the world

The horse shook, bolted

My life of vaquejada is over
