Luar do Sertão (feat. Simone)

There is no, oh people, oh no
Moonlight like the one in the backlands
There is no, oh people, oh no
Moonlight like the one in the backlands

Oh, how I miss the moonlight of my land
There in the shining mountains, dry leaves on the ground
That moonlight from the city so dark
Doesn't have that longing of the moonlight from the backlands

If the Moon rises behind the green forest
It looks more like a silver Sun
Silvering the loneliness
And we grab the guitar that plays
And the song and the full Moon
Being born in our hearts

There is no, oh people, oh no
Moonlight like the one in the backlands
There is no, oh people, oh no
Moonlight like the one in the backlands

There is nothing more beautiful in this world
Than hearing a sad rooster
In the backlands the moonlight is made
It seems like the soul of the Moon that sings
Hidden in the throat
Of that rooster sobbing

How I wish I could die there in the mountains
Embraced by my land
And sleeping at once
To be buried in a small grove
Where the afternoon murmur
Cries its widowhood

There is no, oh people, oh no
Moonlight like the one in the backlands
There is no, oh people, oh no
Moonlight like the one in the backlands
