Último Pau-de-Arara

Life here is only bad
When it doesn't rain on the ground
But if it rains, everything works out

Abundance comes in portions
I hope it rains soon
I hope, my God, I hope

I only leave my Cariri
At the last hitching post
I only leave my Cariri
At the last hitching post

As long as my little cow
Has skin and bone
And can handle the bell
Hanging around its neck

I'll stay around here
May God help me
Who leaves their homeland
Doesn't stop anywhere else

I only leave my Cariri
At the last hitching post
I only leave my Cariri
At the last hitching post
