White Wing

When I saw the land burning like a St. John's bonfire
I asked God in heaven why such suffering (2x)
What a blaze, what a furnace, not a single plant
Due to lack of water, I lost my cattle, my chestnut horse died of thirst (2x)
Even the White Wing flew away from the backlands
So I said: goodbye Rosinha, keep my heart with you (2x)
Today, many leagues away in this sad loneliness
I hope for the rain to fall again so I can return to my backlands (2x)
When the green of your eyes spreads across the plantation
I assure you, don't cry, you see
That I will return, you see, my heart (2x)
