1
Olha lá vai passando a procissão
2
Se arrastando que nem cobra pelo chão
3
As pessoas que nela vão passando
4
Acreditam nas coisas lá do céu
5
As mulheres cantando tiram versos
6
Os homens escutando tiram o chapéu
7
Eles vivem penando aqui na terra
8
Esperando o que Jesus prometeu
9
E Jesus prometeu vida melhor
10
Pra quem vive nesse mundo sem amor
11
Só depois de entregar o corpo ao chão
12
Só depois de morrer neste sertão
13
Eu também tô do lado de Jesus
14
Só que acho que ele se esqueceu
15
De dizer que na terra a gente tem
16
De arranjar um jeitinho pra viver
17
Muita gente se arvora a ser Deus
18
E promete tanta coisa pro sertão
19
Que vai dar um vestido pra Maria
20
E promete um roçado pro João
21
Entra ano, sai ano, e nada vem
22
Meu sertão continua ao deus-dará
23
Mas se existe Jesus no firmamento
24
Cá na terra isto tem que se acabar
25
rough english translation:
26
Look at the procession go by
27
Pulling itself like a snake over the ground
28
The people who are passing
29
Believe in something beyond the sky
30
The women are singing verses
31
The men listening take of their hats
32
They live in penance here on earth
33
Waiting for what Jesus promised
34
Jesus promised a better life
35
To those living in this world without love
36
But only after their body is delivered to the ground
37
Only after dying in the Sertao
38
I'm on Jesus' side too
39
But I think he has forgotten
40
To speak to the earth that these people live on
41
And tell it to arrange a way for them to live
42
Because so many people are flying up to God*
43
Who promises so many things for the Sertao
44
That he will give a dress to Maria
45
And promises a farm for Joao
46
Year after year nothing comes
47
And the Sertao continues to give to God
48
But if Jesus exists up in heaven
49
Then here on earth this has to stop
50
*I know this line is wrong and there are a few others that I'm not sure about (how to translate 'jeitinho' for instance). Anyone who with better Portuguese should feel free to correct me and I'll change it.
