Passeando Pelo Sertão Lyrics Translation in English

Passeando em poesia pelo sertão

Strolling in poetry through the backlands

Me encontrei com melodias de verão

I met melodies of summer

Vi o sol forte no meu rosto a tocar

I saw the strong sun touching my face

Vi sinfonia em plena madrugada

I saw a symphony in the middle of the night

Vi o canto, cantar da passarada

I saw the song, the singing of the birds

Vi o amor bem mais forte, vi paixão

I saw love much stronger, I saw passion

Vi vaqueiro levando sua boiada

I saw a cowboy leading his herd

Aboiando e cantando pra sua amada

Calling and singing to his beloved

Que sorrindo estava a lhe esperar

Who was smiling, waiting for him

Vi mulheres santas vestidas de Maria

I saw holy women dressed as Maria

Que no Sol forte todo dia

Who in the strong sun every day

Iam pra roça trabalhar

Went to the fields to work

Vi o romance do Sol e da Lua

I saw the romance of the Sun and the Moon

O Sol declamando pra deusa Lua

The Sun reciting to the goddess Moon

Todo seu amor

All of his love

Vi caboclo tocando sua viola

I saw a countryman playing his guitar

E uma sanfona tocando, toda hora

And an accordion playing all the time

Animando o meu sertão

Animating my backlands

Animando o meu sertão

Animating my backlands
