Full lyrics

Estou no cansaço da vida

Estou no descanso da fé

Estou em guerra com a fome

Na mesa, fio e mulher

Ser sertanejo, senhor

É fazer do fraco forte

Carregar azar ou sorte

Comparar vida com morte

É nascer nesse sertão

A batalha está acabando

Já vejo relampear

Abro o curral da miséria

E deixo a fome passar

O que eu sinto, meu senhor

Não me queixo de ninguém

O que falta aqui é chuva

Mas eu sei que um dia vem

Vai ter tudo de fartura

Prá quem teve hoje que não tem

Translation

I am in life's weariness

I am in faith's rest

I am at war with hunger

At the table, child and woman

To be sertanejo, sir

Is to make the weak strong

To carry bad luck or good luck

To compare life with death

Is to be born in this sertão

The battle is ending

I already see lightning flash

I open the corral of misery

And let hunger pass

What I feel, my sir

I don't complain about anyone

What is missing here is rain

But I know that one day it will come

There will be plenty of everything

For those who today had nothing
