Asa Branca
Dominguinhos
White Wing
When I saw the burning land!
Like a Saint John's bonfire
I asked God in heaven, oh
Why such suffering?
I asked God in heaven, oh
Why such suffering?
What a blaze, what an oven
Not a plant's footstep
Due to lack of water I lost my cattle
My chestnut horse died of thirst
Due to lack of water I lost my cattle
My chestnut horse died of thirst
Even the white wing
Flew away from the backlands
So I said goodbye Rosinha
Keep my heart with you
So I said goodbye Rosinha
Keep my heart with you
Today far away many leagues
In a sad loneliness
I hope the rain falls again
So I can return to my backlands
I hope the rain falls again
So I can return to my backlands
When the green of your eyes
Spreads across the plantation
I assure you, don't cry, you see
I will return, you see, my heart
I assure you, don't cry, you see
I will return, you see, my heart
