English Translation

Eu fiz promessa pra que Deus mandasse chuva

I made a promise for God to send rain

Pra crescer a minha roça e vingar a plantação

For my field to grow and the crops to thrive

Pois veio a seca e matou meu cafezal

Because the drought came and killed my coffee plantation

Matou todo meu arroz e secou todo o algodão

It killed all my rice and dried up all the cotton


Nessa colheita, meu carro ficou parado

In this harvest, my car stood still

Minha boiada carreira quase morre sem pastar

My running herd almost died without grazing

Eu fiz promessa que o primeiro pingo d'água

I made a promise that the first drop of water

Eu molhava a flor da Santa que estava em frente ao altar

I would wet the flower of Santa in front of the altar


Eu esperei uma semana, um mês inteiro

I waited a week, a whole month

A roça estava tão seca, dava pena até de ver

The field was so dry, it was heartbreaking to see

Olhava o céu, cada nuvem que passava

I looked at the sky, every cloud that passed by

Eu da Santa me lembrava, pra promessa não esquecer

I remembered the Santa, not to forget the promise


Em pouco tempo, a roça ficou viçosa

In a short time, the field became lush

A criação já pastava, floresceu meu cafezal

The livestock was already grazing, my coffee plantation flourished

Fui na capela e levei três pingos d'água

I went to the chapel and brought three drops of water

Um foi o pingo da chuva, dois caiu do meu olhar

One was the raindrop, two fell from my eyes
