English Translation

Lá no meu pé de serra

There in my mountain foothills

Deixei ficar meu coração

I left my heart behind

Ai, que saudades tenho

Oh, how I miss

Eu vou voltar pro meu sertão

I'm going back to my hinterland


No meu roçado eu trabalhava todo dia

In my field, I worked every day

Mas no meu rancho tinha tudo o que queria

But in my ranch, I had everything I wanted

Lá se dançava quase toda quinta-feira

There, we danced almost every Thursday

Sanfona não faltava e tome xote a noite inteira

The accordion never lacked, and we danced for the entire night


O xote é bom

The xote is good

De se dançar

To dance

A gente gruda na cabocla sem soltar

We stick to the cabocla without letting go

Um passo lá

One step here

Um outro cá

Another there

Enquanto o fole tá tocando, tá gemendo, tá chorando

While the bellows are playing, moaning, and crying

Tá fungando, reclamando sem parar

Sniffling, complaining incessantly
