Full lyrics
Pelas terras do bem-querer
Nas luas do bem-amar
Vou procurando você nos sertões do meu estradar
Na sombra do juazeiro, no tronco do jatobá
No canto tão alcoviteiro e sábio do sabiá
Na areia que um dia foi rio
No verde que perdeu a cor
Na casa do vento erradio
No campo deserto de flor
Em todo porto sem farol
E nas noites sem luar
Em cada adormecer do sol
Se esconde teu acarinhar
Nas léguas da minha procura
Mais perto do longe que for
Busco receita de cura prum coração sofredor
Estrela formosa e bela, vizinha de nosso senhor
Descobre pra mim, me revela o esconderijo do amor
Translation
Through the lands of affection
In the moons of loving well
I go searching for you in the backlands of my wandering
In the shade of the juazeiro tree, in the trunk of the jatobá
In the gossipy and wise song of the thrush
In the sand that was once a river
In the green that lost its color
In the house of the wandering wind
In the desert field without a flower
In every port without a lighthouse
And in the nights without moonlight
In each falling asleep of the sun
Your caress hides
In the leagues of my search
Closer to the distance than it may be
I seek a recipe for healing for a suffering heart
Beautiful and lovely star, neighbor of our Lord
Discover for me, reveal to me the hiding place of love
