Full lyrics

Xengo olha a barra

Grela, chumbo só

O céu ta mais

Bem que mimosa

Meu Deus, num é que os dois

Vão dar cria juntinho


Xengo, olha te ajoelha

Filho beija o pó

Afaga esta nesga de terra

Que é nossa

Eu e tu e mãínha

Já ta chovendo


O sol que sangrava

Em lavas de luz

Queimando tudo

Agora é manso

Capeta que virou Jesus


Quanto verde

Xengo, olha o rio

Plantinha de ver que molhada

A terra é cabocla no cio

Traz vida e amor


Lugar como este

Eu juro Xengo, não há

E então quando chove

Até Deus, quer vir morar.........bis

Translation

Xengo look at the bar

Grela, just lead

The sky is more

How delicate

My God, isn't it that the two

Are going to create together


Xengo, look, kneel down

Son, kiss the dust

Caress this strip of land

That is ours

Me and you and mãínha

It's already raining


The sun that was bleeding

In lavas of light

Burning everything

Now it is gentle

Devil that turned into Jesus


So much green

Xengo, look at the river

Little plant, to see how wet

The land is a cabocla in heat

Brings life and love


A place like this

I swear Xengo, there isn't

And then when it rains

Even God wants to come live


A place like this

I swear Xengo, there isn't

And then when it rains

Even God wants to come live
