Sobradinho

The man arrives and already undoes nature
Takes people, builds dams, says everything will change
The São Francisco, up there in Bahia
Says that one day it will slowly rise
And step by step fulfills the prophecy
Of the devout who said the backlands would flood

And 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 lifetime
Over the waterfall the cage will rise
There will be a dam at the Sobradinho jump
The people will leave for fear of drowning

And 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 lifetime
Over the waterfall the cage will rise
There will be a dam at the Sobradinho jump
The people will leave for fear of drowning

And 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, goodbye

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

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
