Passeando Pelo Sertão Lyrics Translation in English

Passeando em poesia

Strolling in poetry

Pelo sertão

Through the hinterland

Me encantei com melodias de verão

I was enchanted by summer melodies

De um sol forte

Under a strong sun

No meu rosto a tocar

Touching my face

Vi sinfonia em plena madrugada

I saw a symphony in the middle of the night

Vi o canto, cantar da passarada

I saw the song, the singing of the birds

Vi o amor bem mais forte, vi paixão

I saw love much stronger, I saw passion

Vi vaqueiro levando sua boiada

I saw a cowboy leading his cattle

Aboiando e cantando pra sua amada

Calling and singing for his beloved

Que sorrindo estava a lhe esperar

Who was smiling, waiting for him

Vi mulheres santas vestidas de Maria

I saw holy women dressed as Mary

Que no Sol forte todo dia

Who, in the strong sun every day

Iam pra roça trabalhar

Went to the fields to work

Vi o romance do Sol

I saw the romance of the Sun

E da Lua

And the Moon

O Sol declamando pra deusa nua

The Sun reciting to the naked goddess

Todo seu amor

All his love

Vi caboclo tocando sua viola

I saw a countryman playing his guitar

E uma sanfona tocando, toda hora

And an accordion playing, all the time

Animando meu sertão

Animating my hinterland

Animando meu sertão

Animating my hinterland
