Full lyrics
Viajando...
Bem longe de casa eu andava
Tangendo uma boiada
Sentia muita saudade
Ao longe eu me achava
Distante de minha amada
Pedia a Deus que eu chegasse
No sertão de Curaçá
ÔÔÔ (...)
Saudade eu sinto demais!
Viajando...
Estradas e mais estradas
Zoava entre as "serras"
O berro da boiada
O sol já estava alto
As sombras cruzando a estrada
Meu Deus eu não vejo a hora
De chegar na terra amada
Viajando...
Meu Deus como dói pensar
Se Rosa tá me esperando
Desde que eu saí de lá
Lembro da ararinha azul
Que foi pra lá morar
Ela me lembra de tu
Quando começa a cantar
Translation
Traveling...
Far from home I walked
Herding a cattle drive
I felt a lot of saudade
Far away I found myself
Distant from my beloved
I asked God that I would arrive
In the sertão of Curaçá
Oh oh oh (...)
I feel too much saudade!
Traveling...
Roads and more roads
The roar echoed among the "mountains"
The bellow of the cattle drive
The sun was already high
The shadows crossing the road
My God I can't wait
To arrive in the beloved land
Traveling...
My God how it hurts to think
If Rosa is waiting for me
Since I left there
I remember the blue macaw
That went to live there
She reminds me of you
When she starts to sing
