Asa Branca
Fagner
White Wing
When I looked at the burning earth
Which St. John's bonfire
I asked God in heaven, oh
Why so much cruelty?
I asked God in heaven, oh
Why so much cruelty?
What a brazier, what a furnace
Not a single plant
Due to lack of water I lost my cattle
My chestnut died of thirst
Due to lack of water I lost my cattle
My chestnut died of thirst
Even the white wing
Flapped wings of the backlands
Then I said: Goodbye Rosinha
Keep my heart with you
Then I said: Goodbye Rosinha
Keep my heart with you
Today far away, many leagues
In a sad solitude
I hope the rain falls again
For me to return to my backlands
I hope the rain falls again
For me to return to my backlands
When the green of your eyes
Spread in the plantation
I assure you, don't cry, okay?
That I will return, my heart
I assure you, don't cry, okay?
That I will return, my heart
