Full lyrics

Sequei os olhos

De tanto o céu olhar

Nenhuma lágrima

Não posso nem chorar

Nem uma nuvem

Bonita prá chover

E desse jeito

Não tem jeito prá viver


Eu vi a chuva Zunindo no telhado

E as goteiras

Zunindo lá no chão

Sartei da rêde

Gritando é o inverno

Meu Pai Eterno

Era sonho meu irmão


Fui ao terreiro

Prá dar uma espiada

Não vi sina De chuva nem de orváio

Pedi a Deus

Aos homens e a ciência

Uma emergência

Uma frente de trabáio


Eu tenho pena

De ver os meus bichinho

Cada vez mais

Ficando naniquinho


Eu tenho gana

De desaparecer

Sem ter um jeito

De lhes dar o que comer Bis

Translation

I dried my eyes

From looking at the sky so much

Not a single tear

I can't even cry

Not a single cloud

Pretty enough to rain

And this way

There's no way to live


I saw the rain Whizzing on the roof

And the leaks

Whizzing there on the floor

I jumped out of the hammock

Shouting it's winter

My Eternal Father

It was a dream, my brother


I went to the yard

To take a peek

I saw no sign Of rain nor dew

I asked God

Men and science

An emergency

A work front


I feel pity

To see my little animals

More and more

Becoming tiny


I have a strong desire

To disappear

Without having a way

To give them something to eat
