In the Sertão*, the ones who there have
Courage to endure
Must live to have
Courage to endure
And plant only
Courage to endure
And reap only
Courage to endure
And even the ones who don't have
Courage to endure
Must also figure out some
Courage to endure
Or then
One leaves
One goes way
And leave it all behind
All that is nothing
Nothing to live
Nothing to give
Courage to endure
