Full lyrics
Toquei fogo em meu roçado
Queimou, queimou
Caiu chuva no roçado
Molhou, molhou
Sambiei o meu roçado
Nasceu, cresceu
Não vou mais para a cidade
O homem aqui feliz sou eu
A minha roça ta toda enfeitada
O milho ta abençoado, o feijão ta com fulo
Por isso eu nunca deixo a minha terra
É o meu pé de serra, a minha vida e meu amor
Ai, ai, ai, dessa vez deus me ajudou
Ai, ai, ai, o milharal já perdurou
Translation
I set fire to my field
It burned, it burned
Rain fell on the field
It got wet, it got wet
I danced samba in my field
It was born, it grew
I'm not going to the city anymore
I am a happy man here
My field is all decorated
The corn is blessed, the beans are in bloom
That's why I never leave my land
It's my mountain foot, my life and my love
Oh, oh, oh, this time God helped me
Oh, oh, oh, the cornfield has lasted
