De Barriga Cheia Lyrics Translation in English
Humberto Bony
Portuguese Lyrics
English Translation
De barriga cheia, de barriga cheia
With a full belly, with a full belly
Comida na mesa e o povo cantando de barriga cheia
Food on the table and the people singing with a full belly
Lá por trás da quela serra ô
Behind that hill, oh
Vem uma nuvem, venham ver
A cloud is coming, come and see
Corre vai junta os panos maria
Hurry, gather the clothes, Maria
Vá depressa que vai chover
Go quickly, it's going to rain
Vai chover molhar a terra
It will rain, wetting the earth
Para fazer plantação
To plant the crops
Sertanejo alegre contente
Cheerful, content countryman
Vento chover no sertão
Wind bringing rain to the hinterland
É aquela alegria,chega á chorar de emoção
It's that joy that brings tears of emotion
Sentindo o cheiro de terra molhada
Smelling the damp earth
É grande a satisfação
The satisfaction is immense
É rio correndo, açude sangrando
Rivers flowing, reservoirs overflowing
O mato crescendo final da queimadas
The vegetation growing after the burnings
Muitos plantando, e a gradecendo
Many planting, and giving thanks
A colheita sagrada
For the sacred harvest
Cantadores cantado fazem desafio
Singers singing, engaging in challenges
Meninos tomando banho de rio mulheres na lida fazendo a ceia
Children bathing in the river, women preparing dinner
E o povo cantando de barriga cheia
And the people singing with a full belly
De barriga cheia, de barriga cheia
With a full belly, with a full belly
Comida na mesa e o povo cantando de barriga cheia
Food on the table and the people singing with a full belly
