São Francisco River

Juazeiro and Petrolina
Embraced by the river
São Francisco River
Holy river walking

Old sorrows, new waters
New river, Old Chico
Will wet this path
So abundance can arrive

The land was born from the river
The river was born from the land
Holy river walking
Land that sweat watered
That should bear fruit
For the man who planted

Run, run my people
Come see in Sobradinho
The backlands came from the sea
Of abundance and illusion

Deceiving the planter
Like grapes in Boa Vista
And onions in Belém
São Francisco, river, amen
