Se Fores Ao Alentejo
José Gonçalez
If You Go to Alentejo
If you go to Alentejo
Go go go go go
Don't forget, give it a kiss
Oh oh oh oh
The sea left Alentejo
Where it brought golden songs
But it returns to satisfy longing
With waves of golden wheat
If you go to Alentejo
Go go go go go
Don't forget, give it a kiss
Oh oh oh oh
The sun rises and scorches the land
Fertilizing the wheat
In the shade of the cork oaks
In the languor of the songs
If you go to Alentejo
Go go go go go
Don't forget, give it a kiss
Oh oh oh oh
In the chapels and on the hills
There are smiles of whiteness
Where the voice of God speaks
In the voice of lime and whiteness
Through distances and plains
Oh solitude, solitude
I want peace in work
To be able to earn my bread
