De Volta Pro Sertão (feat. Mano Walter)

I didn't adapt to air conditioning
With these tall buildings and elevator
With the noise of cars
The pollution
I didn't adapt to this thing called subway

Oh, missing the drop of my horse
The smell of cattle
And my grandfather
The little mountain where I was raised
And the rooster's crow that always woke me up

Oh, missing the drop of my horse
The smell of cattle
And my grandfather
And the little mountain where I was raised
And the rooster's crow that always woke me up

I'm going back to my backlands
Where I grew up
I'll leave this city
I didn't get used to it here

Returning to my backlands
Where I grew up
Open the gate, grandma
And tell them I'm back

I'm going back to my backlands

I didn't adapt to air conditioning
With these tall buildings and elevator
With the noise of cars
The pollution
I didn't adapt to this thing called subway

Oh, missing the drop of my horse
The smell of cattle
And my grandfather
The little mountain where I was raised
And the rooster's crow that always woke me up

Oh, missing the drop of my horse
The smell of cattle
And my grandfather
And the little mountain where I was raised
And the rooster's crow that always woke me up

I'm going back to my backlands
Where I grew up
I'll leave this city
I didn't get used to it here

Returning to my backlands
Where I grew up
Open the gate, grandma
And tell them I'm back

I'm going back to my backlands
Where I grew up
I'll leave this city
I didn't get used to it here

Returning to my backlands
Where I grew up
Open the gate, grandma
And tell them I'm back
