Translation

Meu pé inchado de tanto serviço

My foot swollen from so much work

E essa obra ta pra terminar

And this work is about to finish

Já to sentindo o peso do suplicio

I'm already feeling the weight of the ordeal

Se outro trabalho eu não arrumar

If I don't find another job


Eu nasci no mato, lá eu me criei

I was born in the woods, and there I grew up

Mais a secura me tirou de lá

But the drought took me away from there

O sol queimou tudo o que eu tinha

The sun burned everything I had

Eu vim pra cá só pra trabalhar

I came here just to work


Por isso lhe peço com amor e saudade

That's why I ask you with love and longing

Aperta a minha nuca com a sua mão

Squeeze my neck with your hand

A dança na feira me trás a lembrança

The dance in the fair brings me the memory

Lembrança das noites do meu sertão

Memory of the nights in my countryside
