Ultimo Pau de Arara

Last pau de arara

Life here is only bad when it doesn't rain on the ground
But if it rains, there's plenty of everything in abundance
I hope it rains soon, I hope my god, I hope
I only leave my cariri on the last pau-de-arara (repeat)
As long as my little cow has skin and bone
And can carry the bell hanging around its neck
I'll stay around here, may God help me
Those who leave their homeland don't stop in other places
I only leave my cariri on the last pau-de-arara (repeat)
