Amanhecer No Sertão
Mexe Ville
Dawn in the Backlands
Oh Maria!
What is it João?
Oh Maria!
What is it João?
Maria, give me that hammer
That piece of rail
Only you know where it is
Maria, give me that hoe
That rusty sickle
That I want to sharpen
Oh Maria!
What is it João?
Oh Maria!
What is it João?
Maria, get up!
Go quickly, prepare my bag
Because soon I'll be working
And put cold water in the jug
Rapadura with flour
Breakfast to fast
Oh João, don't forget
The corn for cornmeal
The beans and the mixture
So we can mess around
Then I'll chop the wood
So the fire doesn't go out
Oh Maria!
What is it João?
Oh Maria!
What is it João?
Maria, give me
That I want to sharpen
Oh João, don't forget
So the fire doesn't go out
Oh Maria!
What is it João?
Oh Maria!
What is it João?
