Full lyrics

Olha lá

Vai passando

A procissão

Se arrastando

Que nem cobra

Pelo chão

As pessoas

Que nela vão passando

Acreditam nas coisas

Lá do céu

As mulheres cantando

Tiram versos

Os homens escutando

Tiram o chapéu


Eles vivem penando

Aqui na Terra

Esperando

O que Jesus prometeu

E Jesus prometeu

Coisa melhor

Prá quem vive

Nesse mundo sem amor

Só depois de entregar

O corpo ao chão

Só depois de morrer

Neste sertão


Eu também

Tô do lado de Jesus

Só que acho que ele

Se esqueceu

De dizer que na Terra

A gente tem

De arranjar um jeitinho

Pra viver


Muita gente se arvora

A ser Deus

E promete tanta coisa

Pro sertão

Que vai dar um vestido

Pra Maria

E promete um roçado

Pro João


Entra ano, sai ano

E nada vem

Meu sertão continua

Ao Deus dará

Mas se existe Jesus

No firmamento

Cá na Terra

Isso tem que se acabar

Translation

Look there

Passing by

The procession

Dragging itself

Like a snake

On the ground

The people

Who are passing in it

Believe in things

Up in the sky

The women singing

Pull out verses

The men listening

Take off their hats


They live suffering

Here on Earth

Hoping for

What Jesus promised

And Jesus promised

Something better

For those who live

In this world without love

Only after giving

The body to the ground

Only after dying

In this backlands


I also

Am on Jesus' side

But I think that he

Forgot

To say that on Earth

We have

To find a way

To live


Many people presume

To be God

And promise so many things

For the backlands

That they will give a dress

To Maria

And promise a field

To João


Year in, year out

And nothing comes

My backlands continue

Abandoned to God

But if Jesus exists

In the firmament

Here on Earth

This has to end
