Full lyrics
Sinta, Pereira!
Na travessa do rio deixou
tuas roupas jogadas
na margem direita.
Sinta, Pereira!
Às avessas do fio,
traz peleja encharcada
e rama de oliveira.
Sinta, Pereira!
Sinta o frio do sudeste
ante a solidão agreste.
Antes que haja dor de arrependimento.
Antes que haja dor de arrependimento.
Sinta, Pereira!
Sinta, Pereira!
Na beirada do rio
deixou sua força na raça,
na conta da peneira.
Sinta, Pereira!
Na levada do trio
arrasta a sandália no piso,
já não há mais poeira.
Translation
Feel, Pereira!
On the river crossing he left
your clothes thrown
on the right bank.
Feel, Pereira!
Against the grain,
brings soaked struggle
and olive branch.
Feel, Pereira!
Feel the cold of the southeast
before the wild loneliness.
Before there is pain of regret.
Before there is pain of regret.
Feel, Pereira!
Feel, Pereira!
At the river's edge
he left his strength in his grit,
on the sieve's tally.
Feel, Pereira!
To the rhythm of the trio
he drags his sandal on the floor,
there is no more dust.
