Sou Nordestino Lyrics Translation in English

Sou nordestino viu, baiano eu sei que sou

I'm Northeastern, you see, I know I'm Bahian

Trago notícias dessa terra colorida

I bring news from this colorful land

Onde o sol ficou sobre as águas lindas

Where the sun stayed over the beautiful waters

Mostra o seu valor

Show your worth

Sou nordestino viu, posso falar de amor

I'm Northeastern, you see, I can talk about love

Faço canções, danço xote e xaxado

I make songs, dance xote and xaxado

Quando a noite começou

When the night began

E bem que se falou que sem o nordeste

And it was well said that without the Northeast

Eu nada sou e o forró que se cantou

I am nothing and the forró that was sung

Foi no sertão onde ele se criou

Was in the hinterland where it originated

E bem que se falou que sem o nordeste

And it was well said that without the Northeast

Eu nada sou e o forró que se cantou

I am nothing and the forró that was sung

Foi no sertão onde ele se criou

Was in the hinterland where it originated

Sou nordestino viu, posso provar de lá

I'm Northeastern, you see, I can prove it from there

Que já aprendi não gostar de outra coisa

That I've learned not to like anything else

A não ser de cá

Except for here

E bem que se falou que sem o nordeste

And it was well said that without the Northeast

Eu nada sou e o forró que se cantou

I am nothing and the forró that was sung

Foi no sertão onde ele se criou

Was in the hinterland where it originated

E bem que se falou que sem o nordeste

And it was well said that without the Northeast

Eu nada sou e o forró que se cantou

I am nothing and the forró that was sung

Foi no sertão onde ele se criou

Was in the hinterland where it originated
