Full lyrics

Sertanejo, só voltarei se puder

Levo no meu matulão

A recordação, a coragem e a fé


Muitas vezes sonhei em voltar

Muitas léguas andei sem parar

Na terra quente e em brasa eu sentia saudade de casa


Mas pra que me mandei

Com meus bons companheiros que são

No meu sertão finalmente eu cheguei

Hoje mando daqui pra você

As saudades que sinto em baião

Translation

Countryman, I will only return if I can

I carry in my knapsack

The memory, the courage, and the faith


Many times I dreamed of returning

Many leagues I walked without stopping

In the hot and scorching land I felt a deep longing for home


But why did I leave

With my good companions who are

In my sertão I finally arrived

Today I send from here to you

The longing I feel in baião
