Asa Branca

When I heard the land was burning
 Like the bonfires of São João
 I asked God up there in His heaven
 What is happening to us now?
 What a hellfire, what a furnace,
 Not a tree was left alive
 And all my cattle, they lay there dying
 Even my horse, dear, did not survive
 And the white winged dove has flown now
 Far away from this burnt land
 And so I say now, adeus Rosinha,
 Know in my heart I'll be back again
 Então eu disse, adeus Rosinha
 Guarda contigo meu coração
 Now I live in this big city,
 Such a long, long way away
 But when I hear that the rain is falling,
 Back to my home I'll return someday
 And the land one day will blossom,
 Like the green that's in your eyes
 And I assure you, my dear Rosinha,
 I will be back here, right by your side
 Eu te asseguro não chore não, viu
 Que eu voltarei, viu
 Meu coração
