Viver no campo! Como?

I wanted so much to live off the land in Brazil
In my little corner working peacefully
But how can I work properly
If the lack of respect just leaves me 'bothered'
I wanted to have my own piece of land
Plant everything and see my people fed
But when I go to the city to sell my produce
It's all undervalued
But when I go to the city to sell my produce
It's all undervalued

Oh!
With an egg you can't buy a brigadeiro
A bag of beans doesn't pay for the groceries
A bunch of bananas can't buy a book
A calf doesn't buy a refrigerator
Selling all my pigs from the pigsty
I still can't pay for the medicine and the doctor's visit
So I keep living here
Rotting in the city, longing to one day be a farmer
So I keep living here
Rotting in the city, longing to one day be a farmer

Oh!
Selling a goat doesn't buy me a bicycle
Selling a donkey doesn't buy me a TV
With a liter of milk I can't buy a liter of cachaça
Selling a donkey still doesn't buy me a DVD
I imagine what I would have to sell
To be able to have an old rusty Jeep
How many oxen do I need to buy a plane ticket
For a trip to a civilized country
How many oxen do I need to buy a plane ticket
For a trip to a civilized country

(repeat the lyrics)
