Caboclo Nordestino

Humble caboclo, countryman
Willing, hardworking
In the accordion's shuffle
Listen to this singer
Who in the baião speaks to the world
Your great value

And the caboclo who lives
With the hoe in hand
Working all day
With the greatest joy
Without envying anyone
Satisfied to work
More and more excited
This sweat of yours dripping
Gives you greatness and honor

In your humble hut
Only happiness is seen
And when you come back from the fields
You sit comfortably
To eat your prepared meal
On the table or even on the floor
The children in a flock
Your pleasure is so great
As if you owned a million

Here in this human life
No one is better than you
Listen to this tribute
From a man from Pajeú
And another from Rio Brígida
From the thorns of Exu
