Lot of time since here I arrived
So much I've worked, unable to comeback
I wanna put my face
In a Macaw's Perch*
I want to comeback
They said that was good
That there's money here
For whom works
I confess that I worked
I won only promises
Of Macaw's Perch
When dawns I cry
In the Asa Branca** of my sertão***
I left wife and children
Waiting for my with the feet in the ground****
I'm not complaining
My Assum Preto***** fell silent
God my land is saint
Take me away
To mine kind
I know that when I arrive
I'm going to thank if the Lord orders
Help to my Sertão
So I can stay
Never again go away
