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
