Sobradinho
Men arrive and destroy nature straightawayTake people away, build a dam and say everything will change
The São Francisco, up in Bahia
Says that sooner or later, it will slowly overflow
And step by step, it fulfills the prophecy
Of a priest that said that there would be an inundation at the backlands
The backlands will become a sea, my heart fears
That someday the sea will also become a backland
It will become a sea, my heart fears
That someday the sea will also become a backland
Goodbye Remanso, Casa Nova, Sento Sé
Goodbye Pilão Arcado, here comes the river, swallowing
Under its waters goes your whole life
Above the waterfall, the riverboat will stop passing
There'll be a dam at the Sobradinho Falls
And the people go away, afraid of drowning
The backlands will become a sea, my heart fears
That someday the sea will also become a backland
It will become a sea, my heart fears
That someday the sea will also become a backland
Goodbye Remanso, Casa Nova, Sento Sé
Goodbye Pilão Arcado, here comes the river, swallowing
Under its waters goes your whole life
Above the waterfall, the riverboat will stop passing
There'll be a dam at the Sobradinho Falls
And the people go away, afraid of drowning
The backlands will become a sea, my heart fears
That someday the sea will also become a backland
It will become a sea, my heart fears
That someday the sea will also become a backland
Remanso, Casa Nova, Sento Sé, Pilão Arcado
Sobradinho, goodbye, goodbye
Remanso, Casa Nova, Sento Sé, Pilão Arcado
Goodbye, goodbye
Remanso, Casa Nova, Sento Sé, Pilão Arcado
Goodbye, goodbye
Remanso, Casa Nova, Sento Sé, Pilão Arcado
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Remanso, Casa Nova, Sento Sé, Pilão Arcado
Goodbye, goodbye
