Full lyrics

Sinto saudade lá do meu nordeste

Ai se eu pudesse voltar

Para rever meus parentes

E vê de perto o bacurau cantar


Amanhã eu vou

Amanhã eu vou

Assim canta o bacurau amanha eu vou

Amanhã eu vou

Amanhã eu vou

É assim que eu dizia para o meu amor


Hoje eu vivo sozinho

Sem ter um carinho

No mundo a penar

Pois ate minha rosinha

Casou-se com outro pra me maltratar

Tudo pra mim terminou

Mas eu tenho esperança de um dia voltar

Praquele mesmo ranchinho

Pra vê de pertinho o bacurau cantar

Translation

I miss my northeast so much

Oh, if I could go back

To see my relatives again

And see the nightjar sing up close


Tomorrow I will go

Tomorrow I will go

That's how the nightjar sings, tomorrow I will go

Tomorrow I will go

Tomorrow I will go

That's what I used to say to my love


Today I live alone

Without any affection

Suffering in the world

Because even my little rose

Married another to hurt me

Everything is over for me

But I have hope of one day returning

To that same little ranch

To see the nightjar sing up close
