Asa Branca

Versions: #1
When I saw the burning land
Like a bonfire of São João
I asked God of the heavens
Why so much suffering
I asked God of the heavens
Why so much suffering
 
What a ember, what a furnace
Not even a single crop survives
Because of the drought I lost my cattle
And my dear horse died out of thirst
Because of the drought I lost my cattle
And my dear horse died out of thirst
 
Even the white wing
flied away from the Sertão
So I said, goodbye Rosinha
keep my heart with you
So I said, goodbye Rosinha
keep my heart with you
 
Today, many miles away
In a sad loneliness
I wait for the rain to fall down again
So I can come back to my Sertão
I wait for the rain to fall down again
So I can come back to my Sertão
 
When the green of your eyes
spread to the crops
I assure you, don't cry, you see
I will come back, my love, you see
I assure you, don't cry, you see
I will come back, my love, you see
 

Mané Vito's Party

In the background:
''Your Lordship, for Nossa Senhora's sake*, I didn't kill that man. I only scratched him a little, that man was strong. I swear in the name of Nossa Senhora!''
 
Your police chief, I tell your
Lordship
I'm a child from a family
Which doesn't desire any mishmash
But few days ago
In Mané Vito's party
I had to prove my manhood well
I will explain you why
Bitola was playing the ganzá**
Preá was playing the reco-reco***
And Zé Marreco was playing the acordeon
They played damn good
Here, there, there****
I was dacing with Rosinha
When Zeca, child of Sianinha
Didn't allow me to dance
Your Lordship, no trouble
I don't fight
If no one messes with me
I'm not a man made for fighting
But on that party
Your Lordship, I lost my calm
I had to get my arms
Because I don't like to be humiliated
To scare Zeca
I told to the fole***** to stop
But that man wasn't weak
He came to hit me
I got my dagger
I blew out the lantern
I made everyone to ran to the yard
I made the party over
 

White bird

Versions: #3
When I saw the burning land
Just like a Saint John's bonfire
I asked heaven's Lord, oh
''Why such suffering?''
I asked heaven's Lord, oh
''Why such suffering?''
 
It's hot as a furnace
Not a single plant stands still
I've lost my cattle to the drought
My best best horse has died from thirst
I've lost my cattle to the drought
My best best horse has died from thirst
 
Even the white bird
Has left the sertão
Thus I say, goodbye Rosinha
Keep my heart together with you
Thus I say, goodbye Rosinha
Keep my heart together with you
 
Today, far away
In a sad solitude
I hope for the rain to come
So that I can go back to my sertão
I hope the rain to come
So that I can go back to my sertão
 
When the plantation is as green as your eyes
I promise you, don't cry, ok?
That I shall come back, darling
I promise you, don't cry, ok?
That I shall come back darling
