Lamento Sertanejo
Zezo
Country Lament
I'm an old accordion player from the foot of the mountain
I only have the old accordion that's left for me
My house has turned into ruins, it's no good anymore
I keep waiting and the rain doesn't fall
And the rain doesn't fall
And the rain doesn't fall
My God, why is my countryside so punished?
The cotton dies and there's no more cattle
And the children die of hunger too
My God, if I don't know how to pray, I ask for my forgiveness
I just wanted it to rain here in my countryside
So that man can cultivate
That's how the sadness ends here in my land
The cotton grows and the cattle bellow
And my accordion starts playing again
That's how the sadness ends here in my land
The cotton grows and the cattle bellow
And my accordion starts playing again
