Sobradinho

The man arrives
Already undoing nature
Takes people, builds dams
Says everything will change

The São Francisco
Up there in Bahia
Says that one day
It will rise very slowly

And step by step
It fulfills the prophecy
Of the devout who said
That the backlands would flood

The backlands will turn into sea
It hits the heart
The fear that one day
The sea will also turn into backlands

Will turn into sea
It hits the heart
The fear that one day
The sea will also turn into backlands

Goodbye Remanso, Casa Nova, Sento Sé
Goodbye Pilão Arcado, the river comes to swallow you
Underwater goes a whole life
Over the waterfall the cage will rise

There will be a dam at the Sobradinho jump
And the people will leave with fear of drowning

The backlands will turn into sea
It hits the heart
The fear that one day
The sea will also turn into backlands

Will turn into sea
It hits the heart
The fear that one day
The sea will also turn into backlands

Remanso, Casa Nova, Sento Sé, Pilão Arcado, Sobradinho goodbye, goodbye
