Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Oh! Deus, perdoe este pobre coitado

Oh, God, forgive this poor wretch

Que de joelhos rezou um bocado

Who kneeled and prayed for a while

Pedindo pra chuva cair sem parar

Begging for the rain to fall incessantly


Oh! Deus, será que o senhor se zangou

Oh, God, did you get angry, Lord?

E só por isso o sol se arretirou

And just because of that, the sun withdrew

Fazendo cair toda chuva que há

Making all the rain that exists fall


Senhor, eu pedi para o sol se esconder um tiquinho

Lord, I asked for the sun to hide a little

Pedir pra chover, mas chover de mansinho

Asked for rain, but to rain gently

Pra ver se nascia uma planta no chão

To see if a plant would grow on the ground


Meu Deus, se eu não rezei direito o Senhor me perdoe,

My God, if I didn't pray right, forgive me

Eu acho que a culpa foi

I think the blame was

Desse pobre que nem sabe fazer oração

On this poor soul who doesn't even know how to pray


Meu Deus, perdoe eu encher os meus olhos de água

My God, forgive me for filling my eyes with water

E ter-lhe pedido cheinho de mágoa

And having asked you, full of sorrow

Pro sol inclemente se arretirar

For the relentless sun to withdraw


Desculpe eu pedir a toda hora pra chegar o inverno

Excuse me for asking all the time for winter to come

Desculpe eu pedir para acabar com o inferno

Excuse me for asking to end the inferno

Que sempre queimou o meu Ceará

That has always burned my Ceará
