Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Onde resiste o sertão

Where the hinterland resists

Toda casinha feliz

Every happy little house

Ainda é vizinha de um riacho

Still, it is a neighbor to a stream

Ainda tem seu pé de caramanchão

Still has its rosebush


Onde resiste o sertão

Where the hinterland resists

Toda casinha feliz

Every happy little house

Ainda cozinha no fogão de lenha

Still cooks on the wood stove

Ou fogareiro de carvão

Or charcoal burner


De dia, Diadorim

During the day, Diadorim

De noite, estrela sem fim

At night, endless star

É o Grande Sertão: Veredas

It's the Great Backlands: Paths

Reino da Jabuticaba

Realm of Jabuticaba

As minas de Guimarães Rosa

The mines of Guimarães Rosa

De ouro que não se acaba

Of unending gold


Onde resiste o sertão

Where the hinterland resists

Toda casinha é feliz

Every little house is happy

Porque à tardinha tem Ave Maria

Because in the evening, there is Ave Maria

E o beijo da solidão

And the kiss of loneliness
