Full lyrics

Eu vou falar desse povo

Que não faz mal a ninguém

O sertanejo do norte

Que e pau de arara vem

Desprotegido da sorte

Sou pau de arara também


Ribaçã, se tem fartura

Nunca muda de lugar

Sertanejo se tem chuva

Nunca deixa a terra natá

Sertanejo é tão feliz

Quando chove no sertão

Quando a roça ta cheinha

De arroz, mío e feijão


Quando ele vem do roçado

Seus fiínho tão esperando

Quando avistam de longe

Todos eles vão gritando

Eita! Pai já vem

Eita! Pai já vem

Viu, mãe!

Pai já vem

Translation

I'm going to talk about these people

Who don't harm anyone

The sertanejo from the north

Who comes as a pau de arara

Unprotected by luck

I am a pau de arara too


Ribaçã, if there is abundance

Never changes its place

Sertanejo if there is rain

Never leaves the fertile land

Sertanejo is so happy

When it rains in the sertão

When the farm is full

Of rice, corn, and beans


When he comes from the cultivated field

His little children are waiting

When they spot him from afar

All of them start shouting

Eita! Dad is coming

Eita! Dad is coming

Look, Mom!

Dad is coming
