O Doutor e o Caipira

I give reason to be called a hillbilly
But I still address you as sir
I don't get upset, as I didn't tell a lie
On the contrary, it even gives me value
Your childhood was lessons from college
In reality, today you are a great doctor
I didn't have studies, my school was work
Exploring my backcountry in the countryside

It was important for me to make this journey
Because I got to know this leafy capital
I'm surprised to see so much equipment
For you, all this is normal
I'm a patient that destiny offers you
Doesn't know me as a professional
Where I live, you would feel
How I feel here in this hospital

There I control that spreading fire
That a lightning always sets on fire in the ridge
If I hit a wrong jatobá tree
I know which side the tree falls on the ground
I'm a specialist in cattle grids and gates
I know the wood used for the post
Come with me, see my open sky world
Where work is also an operation

Every time they call me a hillbilly
It's a kindness I receive from someone
It's proof that the person admires me
And doesn't even calculate the pleasure we have
Doctor, now we are already good friends
Come with me, discover my beyond
To say that I'm a hillbilly in the city
But in the bush, I'm also a doctor
